I ran across a $30 book on programming the BeOS, and I was tempted to buy it
- it included a version of the OS. I assume that it was time limited or
something. But I'm busy enough at the moment with Linux and other projects.

I don't know what kind of bindings (DLL, etc) Be supports. I'm assuming that
Rob's Linux port of Euphoria helped shake off some of the DOS/Win32
dependancies built into Euphoria. I'm hoping that Robert ends up with a more
portable version of Euphoria as a result.

It would be nice to see Euphoria running on Be. There's currently work being
done on porting MGL to wxWindows, and I'm looking at adding wxWindows
support to Win32Lib. That means (in a roundabout way) that I might be able
to get the wxWindows version of Win32Lib to run under the BeOs using MGL...
ick.

Have you tried to port Pete's Peuphoria over to Be yet? It doesn't look like
Pete's done a lot to it lately, although I hope he keeps the project up.
I'll have to take a look at Peuphoria and see how compatible it is with
Win32Lib. I don't think he's implemented any graphics yet, and I rely pretty
heavily on routine_id, which I also thing are not yet implemented.
