RE: Eu Dummies - the book: Why and What?
Having developed an installation program for my company that
works on all MS platforms, as well as a game using ExoticaX
(and currently being ported to Allegro and/or OpenGL), I'm at
a point where the things I've learned could help others. Plus,
I'm a technical writer by trade, so I know how to write. I've
got several books in the works, the tentative titles of which
are below. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.

Easy to leave open reference guide?
A margin for notations?
Highlighted text?
More specific sample code?
And that's just with 10 seconds of thought. :)

Yeah, let's hear from all you beginning (and intermediate and advanced)
EUPHORIA programmers. What would catapult you from wanna-be to has-been?

Alright... noted.

Send that to me privately if you want. I'll add it to my notes.
Thanks!
