What that? Type long name?
But I'll be happy *to type some very specific long name*,
namely that one you have omitted here.

Ok, but did you notice many platform specific graphics, sound and
mouse procedures and functions? These procedures and functions work
nice on DOS32, but they can not work on WIN32, Linux and FreeBSD.
EU programmer needs to learn Windows and *nix API to just put a pixel
on the screen with exw.exe and exu interpreters.
So, Euphoria needs some new_graphics.e library to make simple graphics
operations in full screen mode under Windows or Linux/FreeBSD control,
same as under DOS32 control.
There are a few such libs in the Archive, but they wrap Allegro or
SVGA, and so they are very version specific.

A lib which gives simple standard DOS32 SVGA graphics on Windows and
Linux/FreeBSD.
Do you see this problem? DOS, WIN and LNX Euphorias are too different
on this part now because of very different graphics.
I think, it is a very good task, just for you, Vincent.
