Re: GOTO - A fresh perspective?
Hello Rob,
I was on my way to bed when your mail came in, let's see it.

I'm visited already Michael's page a time ago. I saw part of his work but it's
too specific. I'd rather look for something more generic that could be used to
build games as well as to develop commercial apps. Nothing against games but
they are not my kind of stuff.

Well, I have your Reference Manual right here. It's a reference manual where I
can look into to have a reference. It can be valuable to someone who knows
already another language (I known, many others do) but should I tell a newbie
to go learn some Basic then tell him/her to come back later and try to learn
Euphoria from this reference manual!?!

I agree with you 100%. That is your job, what you know best. Please don't do
anything else. What I'm trying to make others than you and me understand is
that they could write about (Euphoria) what they know and make money doing it.
I'm sure you'll be very thankful if a textbook bring another bunch of brand new
customers to your door, won't you?
Well, I think I had enough for today, and today is already tomorrow, and I need
some sleep. Good night/Good day to all...
Kind Regards,
