Cool - I wondered it you would make it before Pete.

 I hammered away at it for a bit, but I'm too sleep deprived to think
sensibly. Some of the demos ran cleanly, while:

   sanity.ex
   buzz.ex
   sequence.ex

consistantly returned with segment errors. Yes, I set the PATH and EUDIR,
and remembered to export them. Running them under X vs. full screen didn't
seem to make any difference. They all launched, and then choked on some
internal error. Rebooting made no difference.

I'm running the most current version of Linux-Madrake, which is Red Hat +
the K Desktop. It's only a couple weeks old, so I shouldn't be missing
anything terribly important.

On the other hand, ed ran like the speed demon it's alway been Very neat,
except that I'm addicted to ee.

I tried seeing how portable various libraries were, but gave up when it gave
me the 300 statement limit errors. I suspect that most of them were poking
into video memory, although I still got trouble after yanking that code out
and replacing it.

I guess I'll finally have something to shell out my hard-earned Euphoria
dollars on now.

Thanks!
