I.E. Support it for _all_ platforms, not just promoting major windows use. Here are some things Eu could use: 1) OS specific calls, wrapped up in easy-to-call Eu libs. 2) GUI libs - Win32Lib, EuGTK, Llama/GTK, etc, but multi-platform. 3) Multi-platform Web util libs. 4) Tools for TCP/IP (and maybe UDP?) - like EuTCP4u, socketlib.eu, etc. 5) Very powerful math libs. 6) Games (for all platforms, not just DOS/Win) 7) Some *nix Hacker utils. 8) Multi-plaform graphics libs. 9) Multi-platform Emulated thread lib. (I'm working on a *nix version.) 10) Multi-platform IPC lib. (Like RDC.e, but which also works on Windoze.) Do that, and we have more people wanting to use Eu. Now, add in-depth documentation for EACH one of these, explaining the full use of it to the _begining euphorian_, and we'll get Eu's popularity to skyrocket! (Well, there is the matter of promotion. Each of the libs will need to become as popular as Win32Lib.) jbrown Linux User:190064 Linux Machine:84163 --
