Thanks to those who replied. Ray, Be assured that I already have, and still are currently doing what you suggest in your first point. The languages that I have learnt are as follows: GWBASIC QBASIC VB TurboPascal Delphi (ver 4) Assembly (I used TASM) Turing (A Canadian language that that isn’t that useful, but was the first language I learnt) SQL HTML Euphoria In addition, I am doing a Maths\CompSc degree, which means that I am learning JAVA and C++. I’m not relying on Euphoria to provide me with my future income, just trying to gauge if it is worth the time to continue with Euphoria. Igor, Thanks for your reply; I understand where you are coming from. Everett L. (Rett) Williams, Your reply was taking in the good faith that it was intended. Yes, I did Advanced English in High School, and have part of a University Degree. I have be extremely lazy with my posts in that I do not read what I have typed, and have rushed everything. Doing Tae Kwon Do, being a goalkeeper for a Youth Grade soccer team, as well as doing a combined degree has left me with very little time) I will put more effort in the quality of my posts. Quoting from ‘Yogi’, “You observe a lot by watchingâ€. J. Brown, You have same good points in your reply. Richard Skenderian, I have to agree with some of the points that you have made. Although LemonHeads is a nice game, (I played it myself) I must say that the majority of development in Euphoria seems to be the development of extra ‘features’ for Euphoria, not for the ‘outside world’ as such. Just to list some examples, take the numerous IDE programs and Win32Lib. I not saying that these are bad things, just that this is ALL that we seem to be doing. We have Win32Lib, Exotica and Judith’s IDE, so we SHOULD be able to create some outstanding games and software for the ‘outside world’. Humbly yours, Daniel McGrath
