Just a few hours ago, I got a mail from a user of one of my programs
('mbx2eml').
He periodically needs to split large mbox files into separate mail files.
He writes:
"... after extensive searching a year ago, mbx2eml was the only utility
I could find ANYWHERE that did not freeze, skip mails etc."

Although this is of course partly due to my care , it is Euphoria
that made it possible to write the program. And as far as I can see,
one reason (among others) why Euphoria is so robust is the absence of
pointers.
