Ha ha ha.

My guess is that the name "win32" has something to do with that. It seems 
to imply "MS-Windows 32-bit" in my mind. Also, right from the outset, David 
Cuny and others, seemed to hard code Windows specific paradigms and 
literals into the library. It never seems to have been designed to be 
cross-platform and would now require a complete, ground-up, rewrite to get 
there - breaking just about all the code using it.

The 'llama' product is one attempt at producing a cross-platform GUI for 
Euphoria.
