Sounds good. What I'll probably do is build and use my own version of official
Euphoria v3.0 interpreters using Open Watcom v1.4 and my free upgrade v3.0 C
back-end source code. Open Watcom v1.5 may have LFN support (not sure yet) and
plenty of other new features and improvements. Robert might become more
interested with that and use it for Euphoria v3.1. We'll have to see how
everything plays out.

Yes... I did a test afterwords and SVGA modes perform 22x faster when compiled
with Open Watcom v1.4 verses Watcom v10.6. As I've mentioned earlier, the newer
graphics library can go beyond SVGA and 256 colors.
