Neil & Co.? 
You bet We're aimed at the SVGA crowd, despite the fact that Neil does
indeed choke on some video boards. But when it does work, the 16M colors
are nice, and the speed is to behold. I haven't been posting updates due
to its current state of flux (partly due to Ralf's continued badgering
"put this in! put that in!" and I'm trying very hard to make it
compatible with as many cards as I can. Scitech's VBE drivers can
sometimes help.. but not always. Also, Neil is also geared toward a
gaming environment with sprites and all... haven't given too much thought
to using it for a gui. I might take a crack at shoehorning Neil into
Dos32Lib one of these days.

This sounds like another subtle hint for me to get off my butt and
continue the Linux/Unix port of Euphoria...
I thought the Java l&f was cool, sad to hear it got canned.
Laters,
