Hello Scott,

>Whitch is a better and easier to create programs with just curius...
>Visual Basic 5.0 or Euphoria? plz respond anyone who can.

Well, it depends entirely on what kind of program you are creating.
As far as "easier" goes, it is easier to make GUI front-ends in VB
but if you are looking for ease of data manipulation I would
definitely vouch for Euphoria. As for "better", that depends on how
you define it. VB is much more widely used than Euphoria and VB is
supported by a much more wealthy company so its support is definitely
at the top but that again depends on what you define as "good" support.
If you are looking for MORE people that can help and MORE sources
of documentation and MORE example programs, then you are looking
for VB. However, Euphoria is definitely NOT lacking in those
categories either. This list is a resourceful, and friendly (most
of the time) place to ask questions and get plenty of help. Not to
mention that occasionally even Robert Craig, the languages creator,
will answer posts. He hardly ever ignores posts directed at him.
Lastly, distribution of Euphoria programs is MUCH simpler than
VB as you don't have to distribute all the extra files and Eu's
file sizes are MUCH SMALLER. Also, I believe Euphoria is FASTER
than VB but I haven't tested it yet.
VB is definitely easier to use for some applications but over-all
Euphoria is my pick as a general-purpose language.

later,
Lewis Townsend.
