I don't think anyone's dead set against you on this, I'll just say
that if a year ago I knew you were going to spend 12 months writing
something which you could donate to the euphoria community, I
personally wouldn't have chosen an installer. No matter, big "if".

Getting an installer of any flavour together in a few weeks was the
right choice over starting a big project which might not get finished
until say March 2003.

You are right, wanting to do things in Euphoria, but that doesn't also
mean Rob was wrong. Rob gave you the go-ahead anyway.

I can see you are very passionate about this because you are very
close to the subject. You should perhaps expect some scepticism from
those of us who are not, for instance, can it offer any additional
features of real benefit (eg quickly switching between 2.3 and, when
it arrives, the 2.4 beta?, checking for updates/patches, installing
the IDE + win32lib via direct downloads, etc), does it really have all
the features I read about on http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php ?

Otherwise, yes, if you have the time & inclination, go for it.
