------=_NextPart_000_003C_01C0022D.4B34A8A0 charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Just a comment on the below statements made by simulat=20 I believe that the use of Euphoria should require like all shareware a = usage time limit (just my opinion).=20 RDS has a powerfull tool for programming that doesnt require us to be = proficient at other languages such as C, C++, Assembler to be able to get code up and running faster than conventional ways and = one that requires NO degree to see results. for this, we should be greatfull and support RDS and, any future = improvements that may make our ventures in programming SAFEr, SIMPLEr, SEXYr, FUN I think that's the motto (sorry if it's not = Robert). We will all win in the end if you just register. Registration does make programming in Euphoria easier..(my opinion) Hi Paul It's not so bad - the 300 line limit isn't such a killer. I used = Euphoria for a year and a half without registering. Robert's scheme of = providing a fully functional package with the debugger crippled for big = programs is very generous, and I hope quite effective in generating = sales. It sure worked with me - by the time the 300 line limit became a = real pain I was hooked on the language and had no choice but to buy.=20 The thing to realize is that the 300 line limit is only on the debugger. = You can get around it in a couple of legal ways. a) Don't use the debugger - it's a wonderful convenience, but not = absolutely necessary. b) If you're using an unstamped library, maybe try making a copy with a = new name that has had everything that you don't need discarded. For = example, with the pcsound.e (which I have not examined) you may be only = using a couple of functions out of dozens provided. Take those couple = out of pcsound.e and put them into something like paul.e. Then the = library won't eat up your 300 lines all by itself. c) Make bigger programs by writing and testing smaller modules that fit = in the 300 line limit and then combining them when they are correct into = a bigger program. You still have a bit of a debugging problem at the end = of the process, but you have access to the debugger for creation of all = the modules.
