RE: Are there any commercial applications written in Euphoria????

Thanks to all who have replied. Just another question. Do they run
Euphoria as an interpreted program and have to include Euphoria
executable with their program, or do they compile it into a "C" program?
I hope I'm not being too much a pain, but Ray Smith saying he prefers
Python got me wondering. I had looked at Python before I tried Euphoria
and I thought Euphoria. The same went for Ruby, Perl, and Lua and
others. I am used to COBOL, Cognos's Powerhouse, Visual Basic, Java,
Sybase's Anywhere, Delphi, and a little C. (These are all costly and
seem to have a lot of overhead so I am not interested in them).
I was reading in a Java Pro magazine, December 2003, Editor's note page
6,  where it was not efficient for small systems, but for large systems.
The scripting languages are recommended(PHP) for smaller systems so
that's where I thought maybe Euphoria's strength lay.

A lot of people seem to build "commercial" Euphoria programs
for their own use inside a company. Today for example, a
pharmacist in Texas sent me a Euphoria program that he wrote to 
automate his pharmacy. His program taps into Euphoria data
on physicians he deals with, patients who buy drugs, and
his database of drug information (in Euphoria form).
It's a Windows program that uses Win32Lib. He hasn't
decided whether to try to market it.
So far he's just happy using it for himself.

Commercial programs like this don't appear in
Recent User Contributions. Commercial programs may
contain proprietary information, may require a
special environment to operate in, or may be too complicated
or uninteresting to anyone but the author and his company,
or perhaps their competitors.

One person who upgraded recently said he developed a
Euphoria program for his company that saved them a ton of money
and resulted in his promotion.
