My last post contained a rather long, rambling sentence
that was hard to parse. WATCOM going open source
has no effect on Euphoria for Linux. On Linux, the translator
produces C files that are compiled and linked using GNU C,
just as the Euphoria interpreter is compiled and linked using
GNU C.

No it isn't.

Yes, I gather they will initially produce a small patch for
WATCOM 11.0 users. After that they will get into open source,
but I'm not 100% sure of what they mean by "open".

Definitely it should. The core language is fully
compatible with DOS32 and WIN32.
Euphoria for WIN32 also lacks the WATCOM graphics library.
