I believe a lot of people here gave you a great deal of help....and that = includes myself. I believe I replied to your Emails in both private and = public, and gave you examples in private of how to use aspects of the = Euphoria language. I in fact sent you a reply back before seeing this = message regarding get() What can I say? While I can't speak for the others you may have = communicated with, I know I answered your Email as best I could. I'm = sorry if that was not enough. I'm sorry the tutorial did not help you = either, though it was my best intention to make sure that it could help = everyone who downloaded it.=20 My recommendation is to continue trying Euphoria. It is a fine language = and I've backed it for nearly four years out of my own time and pocket = with no regrets.=20 David Gay ----- Original Message -----=20 From: Asif Masood Baloch=20 To: EUPHORIA at LISTSERV.MUOHIO.EDU=20 Sent: Monday, August 21, 2000 12:07 AM Subject: Love for Euphoria Hi coders (That is what i should call you cuz its real right), It all started when i was fed up of Visual C++ 6.0 and started looking = for nicer programming languages. And suddenly, i found EU at = cnet.download.com. I belong to a 3rd world country where people hardly = know what Linux is and what is BeOS. Getting it?? I downloaded a = "Beginner's Guide for EU" written by David Alan Gay and after going to = first 11 Chapters I fell in love with this langage but you know what = happened. Consider this example: You love a girl and she dumps you not = because she doesnt want you but because of the company that evolved = around her. In this case EU is the girl and you coders are the company = that evolved around her. Im not angry on your guys. You are nice people = but you just dont guide me at all. I ask for explanation and guidance = and most of you just turn away from me. My mind is blocked at Chapter 12 = totally. I dont get a damn thing. Who should i call for help. David Alan = Gay is so bust that he never bothered to make the tutorial easy to = understand and never thought that such examples could only be taught in = realtime conversations. Again, i dont mean to be rude with you people. I = am confused and very angry. Lets see what would be my next programming = language. - Very angry Asif ------=_NextPart_000_0064_01C00BAC.386CAAA0 charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; = charset=3Diso-8859-1"> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.50.4134.600" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Hi Asif.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Seeing my name was mentioned in your = comments, I=20 figured I should speak up.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>I believe a lot of people here gave you = a great=20 deal of help....and that includes myself.
