Bugs in ex.exe and in text-gui...

--> Saving a gif, bug reports, EDM & mazer (coming up)

This mail is about a lot of things so i didn't know a very good
subject. If my other mail does arrive, sorry. But when i do not
receive a confirmation of the mail server after 1.5 days something
must have gone wrong, so this is the second try.
Bug reports
~~~~~~~~~~
I want to report a bug in ex.exe, sometimes when i press ctrl+escape
the program ends in a win 95 'this program has performed an illegal
action' message.
There is also an bug in the TexT-GUI (version 0.8). Sometimes when
executing my program an error occurs, but when i return, then editor
ends with a crash too... ..the error in my program (started from the
editor) was a 'line too long' -error (The editor can handle very long
lines, but Euphoria does not). Another time i had an 'this function
uses this many arguments'-error which also made the editor crash when
returning.
Saving a gif & pcx file
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have seen two different gif loaders and one pcx-load, but no
savers, why??? They would seem very handy to me..
Euphoria Data Manipulation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Has anyone tried my Euphoria Data Manipulation, and do you have any
suggestions. If you haven't tried it yet, or if you have no idea what
it is, go download it from the user's contribution section of the
Official Euphoria Programming Page. It allows you to convert an
Euphoria sequence (with possible sub-sequences) to an sequence of
bits contain the sequence data and its structure in a very short
cryptic way, using the least amount of bits needed to represent it,
it doesn't (yet) use a real compression, however when a sequence has
100's of 1's and 0's with one 398, it will mark that one as an
exception that is and 4 byte integer instead of a bit!!
Maze Generator
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MY maze generator is almost finished, i've just have to document it
(maybe write a special hypertext program for an my own enhanced text
file format), add some flavors and get the last bugs out.
The engine is faster than any i've ever seen in any high-end
language like Euphoria, the technique it uses is also very different
than all the others i've seen. It is highly customizable, with an big
options sequence.
Cause there are so many options, i've included routines that set
the major options to a specified style, for every different flavor,
is a different routine which returns a complicated options sequence
which you can use as an argument to the mazer routine.
The demonstration program is already done and there's just one bug
left to sort out, and it's an irritation one, it's an infinite loop i
think, once you started it, there's no way back except if you reboot
the system. (Or press [ctrl+esc] wich ends the program and returns in
a win95 that suddenly doesn't function 100% healthy anymore)
As you can hear i'm pretty screwed up about that bug, if i can't
solve it by myself, i might need some help, any volunteers??????
Too long
~~~~~~~
I know, it's a bit too long, right?? And you haven't enjoyed reading
this at all then why are you still reading?? Well, i promise to keep
them a bit shorter in the future but i got so much to tell, and
sending it all in separate mails doesn't really matter cause the
mails are all downloaded anyway when you check for new mail.
Sorry, Won't do it again (angels face & crossed fingers)
