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.

Onwards and upwards
Bye
