And which one did the priest bless? I think that the difference here is only
that of writing to a "native" interface not requiring any non-Euphoria
deliverables. I suspect, but don't know that the VEL dll depends on
many of the same dll's that win32lib does. The only thing that would make
one intrinsically more desirable than the other, other than pure usability
would be the degree of portability available. The VEL dll approach could
allow the Euphoria code to be much more portable than calls to the
native API. Both efforts are outstanding pieces of work that can only
broaden the use of Euphoria. The existence of a powerful IDE of whatever
heritage is one of those preconditions for the real growth of Euphoria use
in the business community. My thanks to anyone willing to attempt such
a herculean task.
