Mic also reports a similar factor of ten error in the reported time.
I assume he used DOS4GW too.
I'm not interested in hearing about any more problems with
DOS4GW. Please download the latest translator package for
DOS32. It contains the CauseWay extender, and it links in
CauseWay automatically. As a bonus, it also compresses
your .exe using the CauseWay compressor. CauseWay is
what the Euphoria interpreter uses.
I used DOS4GW for Euphoria, versions 1.3 (5 years ago)
and earlier. I found it to be rather buggy, and I don't think
they updated it much after Windows 95 came out.
CauseWay is far superior. I tried a few small programs
using DOS4GW a while ago and they ran ok, so I thought
it might still be a viable option. But then I ran some larger ones
that failed, and people have reported lots of problems with DOS4GW
on this mailing list. I will not recommend that anyone try
DOS4GW or other extenders anymore.
And, yes, I'm aware that most people don't have Watcom.
I'm trying to find out if they can release some of the Watcom
executables, before they release their open source version.
If they can't, I will consider other compilers.
Since I've been building the Euphoria interpreter with Watcom,
it's easy for me to provide a translator that works with Watcom.
Providing support for other DOS/WIN compilers requires a
fair bit of work, so I'm not jumping into it right away.
