Touche' or is that touchy,

I wouldn't bother to suggest/criticize/bother if I did not believe all the
things that you have noted about Euphoria. It is the best looking language
that I have seen in thirty-three years of looking at different languages.
And if those darn virus-protection types( whom I suspect of at least
distributing if not actually writing some viruses) would like to give me a
refund, I'll take it smile

Now when you get around to it, since I have indirectly taken some potshots
at the type of coding that you do(and I freely admit that you are a much
better coder than I have ever been), why don't you take a shot at some of
the other points that I so humbly tried to make. What I was trying to say
was that the type of coding that you do belongs exactly where it normally
is, hidden behind the routines of a library. I just wish the libraries were
more generally and less particularly aimed. Meaning, that they could be used
in any environment with suitable adjustments...DOS, Windows, Linux,& etc.
