I used to use QuickBasic, and it is NOT easier!! To say it was not made =
for speed is an understatement. And have you actually tried programming =
graphics and sound with it!? I've explored pretty much every bit of code =
in the Qbasic.com archives, and the best progs I've seen, pre-dated =
nintendo.=20
Granted, if Qbasic didn't have it's memory limitations, it could still =
be a contender for an interpreted language, but even compiled, Qbasic is =
still slower than interpreted EU.
There are certainly things that I still miss from that language, but =
EU's benefits far outweigh the advantages of QB.
Another point. MicroSoft doesn't even support QB anymore. The only =
version that I would consider using (QuickBasic), is practically illegal =
to get now. Due to the fact that it is free and you can compile with it, =
I believe. And the fact that MS came out with PowerBasic, which was not =
free and could barely hold ground with QuickBasic. (More Bill Gates =
monopoly schemes).
K.... I'm rambling now. :) My point is that QB is a dead language, =
the only support for it is the ppl who are too set in their habitual =
ways to switch to a more practical and functional language.
QBasic.com is an homage to a dying language. I think everyone and his =
cousin who has ever programmed, knows QB, thus it is only common sense =
that that website would be alot more developed.
You wanna see the RDS site expand? Get more ppl to start using EU. The =
larger the EU population. The more expansive the the resources will be.
I agree that a chat room would greatly enhance the EU community. And it =
does need to be on the RDS site. Todd Riggins has an Exotica/EU chat =
room on ICQ, but unless you're interested in his Exotica lib, you would =
never know about it.=20

People , Qbasic is easier than Euphoria ! Get it in your brain ! Basic =
was not
made for speed , it was made for graphics and sound . And when I run a =
QBasic programe , I know it would not crash .When I run an Euphoria =
program,
I am not sure if it is gonna run . And just take a look at =
www.qbasic.com .=20
If Euphorias web page was as good as that , I would visit it more . I =
just whish
there where a chat room on the Euphoria main page . And now all I have =
to say is that Euphoria is THE best programing language ever made ! Good =
going guys !
Just work on the sound please ! All you people must be pleased about =
Euphoria because only a few people incuding you and me know about it .
See ya !
