I'd like point this out: It doesn't make sense to make a compiler that
really isn't a compiler but rather a CONVERTER to another language when the
language that is being converted was developed to provide an alternative to
C/C++ and other such languages. Second, i don't think people will pay 2000
dollars U.S. for something that is a utilitie for a software package that
costs 39 dolloars u.s. and comes with a utility to build EXE's and still
keep speed. The only advantage is that this "U4IA++" this supports syntax
for classes; Even that doesn't matter much because they're are many Euphoria
libraries that pretty much implement a full OOP system.(ie. Object Euphoria)
Lastly, the fact that your renaming the language and extending it by 2%
doesn't make it right that your bastardizing and ripping off a language that
was developed by 2 people over 3 years of hard work and relatively small
profit.

I'd like to think of this reply as stating the obivious.

Again, I hope a lot of people read this so that they don't be become 2000
dollars poorer.
