BLATANT PLUG for LINUX
for about $12 including shipping you can obtain Linux Mandrake 7.2 from
Linux Mall.   You will then have gcc, python, perl... and tons of other
"stuff" as well.  Plus KDE and GNOME, etc...

IMHO the best plan (though I am well aware I am spitting in the wind) is not
for Rob to try to adopt an MS/Windows compatible compiler, but for the
everyone to migrate to LINUX.  In this case it would be far better to move
the mountain to Mohammed.

I have been MicroSoft free now for over a year.  There is really no reason
to go back to MS -for the price of MS Windows 2000 you can get COREL Office
2000 Deluxe and COREL'S  LINUX distribution to boot.

David Cuny, I think, has recommended that Euphoria support WxWindows -maybe
the best way to end all these translator/compiler headaches is simply to
support gcc and WxWindows.

I am very seriously thinking about providing the local library with one of
the Linux Distributions and keeping it current.  The cost to anyone in town
would be NIL.  And LINUX support groups / the LINUX Documentation Project,
etc. abound.

Also, remember that eds runs twice as fast on LINUX.
