That can happen.

Judith's IDE is a SUPERB program.  However, not everyone is coding Windows
apps with Euphoria.  There are quite a few folks (those who shiver at the
thought of Windows) that are writing pure DOS stuff.  And for that, Judith's
IDE would not help much.  Hence the need for continued work on EE, and hence
why I chose it as an optional install.
