I certainly agree, and appreciate anyone's effort in this direction.
I must point out, however, a major difference between the two approaches
that affects the user:
Dave's code (Win32Lib) is written in Euphoria. When a program bombs, I get
an ex.err file describing the problem. If it's my code, fine. If the problem
lies in Dave's code, I can still find and fix it. Vel errors tend to be the
altogether meaningless Windows error: Access Violation at 4C249592 caused by
win32.dll attempt to write to 003300CF (or whatever). Fixing these is
beyond my ability.
