I hope your right, of course. Both of the Libraries are hosted on
remote sites. I think it would be a pity to suddenly find one day
that either or both were suddenly not available at all.

Irv may very well be right about Bob (RDS) needing to provide an official
GUI/IDE. Its all so very sad - many of the best Euphoria programmers -
David Cuny, Jiri Babor, Derek Parnell and Irv Mullins to name a few, have
contributed so much of their time and talent toward the development
of tools to facilitate the use of Euphoria - now they are gone.
(metaphorically speaking of course).
