Hi Bernie,

Just out of curiosity... I wonder what language the following dll's that
David uses in Win32Lib are written in?

    user32      = linkDLL("user32.dll")
    gdi32       = linkDLL("gdi32.dll")
    winmm       = linkDLL("winmm.dll")
    comdlg32    = linkDLL("comdlg32.dll")
    comctl32    = linkDLL("comctl32.dll")
    kernel32    = linkDLL("kernel32.dll")
    shell32     = linkDLL("shell32.dll")

I think you also use those and others in your Win32API too, right?

While I certainly admit that writing the graphical controls using only
Euphoria is a daunting task... I surely DON'T agree that writing the IDE is
any easier for David than it is for me. After all, Damien is also written
entirely in Euphoria, using VEL as the graphical tool, just as David uses
Win32Lib as his tool.

I submit that you should write an IDE using your Win32API as your grapical
tool. I think you will get a better feel for the complexities of writing an
IDE regardless of which tools you use.

Gary.
