Hello, all.  Welcome to  alt.lang.euphoria, an unmoderated newsgroup
for discussion of the DOS-based programming language Euphoria.

Euphoria is a basic-like language which executes 10-20 times faster
than Qbasic.  Faster than Java, too.  It's shareware from Rob Craig's
Rapid Deployment Software at:


You can also find links to various enthusiastic Euphoria user's pages.

In addition to web sites, there's a mailing list.  From the Euphoria
homepage:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks to John Kinne of Miami University we now have a mailing list
server for Euphoria. Anyone who is interested in discussions about
Euphoria can add their e-mail address to the Euphoria mailing list.
All you have to do is send e-mail to:

LISTSERV at MIAMIU.ACS.MUOHIO.EDU

If your name is John Smith the body of your message would be:

subscribe euphoria John Smith

Give your first and last name, not your e-mail address. The list
server will determine your e-mail address automatically. The subject
of your message is ignored. The list server will immediately reply to
you with full instructions on how to participate in the mailing list.

After subscribing, you can e-mail a message to
EUPHORIA at MIAMIU.ACS.MUOHIO.EDU and it will automatically
be forwarded to everyone on the list. There are special commands for
removing yourself from the list, and customizing various features to
your liking.  By participating you will find out what other people are
doing with Euphoria, and you will be able to solve Euphoria problems
for yourself and for others.  RDS participates as well, and everyone
benefits from lively and informative discussions. These discussions
are archived so you can retrieve them at any time.

Euphoria's plenty fast enough to write games in. At least two people
have written games which are near commercial quality.   Also available
from Rapid Deployment's homepage.

The email list is pretty active; lots of wannabes and real programmers
chiming in.  Seems a good time to add a newsgroup to the mix.

Regards,

Warren Evans
