RDS had better remove the following statements from their
2.5 documents because they are no longer true.

<qoute>
* a high-performance, state-of-the-art interpreter that's
  30 times faster than conventional interpreters such as
  Perl and Python.

* lightning-fast pre-compilation. Your program source is
  checked for syntax and converted into an efficient internal
  form at over 35,000 lines per second on a lowly Pentium-150.
  There's no need to mess around with extra "byte-code" files.


 The Euphoria Interpreter is written in ANSI C, and can be
 compiled with many different C compilers.

</qoute>

 It would be cheaper to use a FREE "C", PASCAL, ASSEMBLER
 interpeter or compiler available on the WEB to create
 programs than to upgrade a user's hardware.

 I can just see a new user downloading my w32engin.ew
 and trying to load it; saying gee ! I better buy a faster
 computer so I can use this wonderful library to write my
 programs.    

 Once again RDS is asking us to adjust our way of doing
 things to use their product.


  When will RDS wake-up to the fact that we are customers
  not just users.
