Really Euphoria is simple and popular a lot thanks to its great
simple DOS32 graphics.

Your suggestion automatically means that you want the DOS32
distribution only separate, or hundreds of Archive packages
will not work with the standard Windows+DOS package
(they do not contain the standard libs).

Please be careful, CChris.

I think that Windows, Linux and FreeBSD versions of Euphoria
are too complicated due to lack of that simple DOS graphics.

There is no possibility even compare importance for
the common Euphoria sets.e and graphics.e.
Zero against the whole history and good half of The Archive.
