Hi Robert, this discussion reminds me to ask what plans do you have for the next (and subsequent) release of Euphoria. I believe your time is pretty well taken up with the translator for now (which means that nobody's actually working on Euphoria itself, I guess), but do you have any schedule or specific plans to improve your language? I know that you often receive enhancement requests, so I'm just wondering about your thoughts with this. ------ cheers, Derek. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Craig" <rds at ATTCANADA.NET> To: <EUPHORIA at LISTSERV.MUOHIO.EDU> Sent: Sunday, August 27, 2000 7:55 AM Subject: Re: Python ... long .. includes Ray's rantings! :) > Kat writes: > >> 1.
