I agree, both in reference to third persons, and to third party
software.

Developing a Windows IDE is a huge job. If Gary has to work
for a living as well as find time for Vel, that may be too much
to ask of one person.

Also,it seems better _not_ to have another layer of un-editable and
un-repairable code between us and the already un-editable
and un-repairable windows API. The usefulness of Euphoria's
error reporting is compromised, and there's no way anyone can
contribute add-ons, bug fixes or improvements.

Maybe Rob could hire Dave to bring the Win32lib IDE to a
point where the Eu/Win package on CD would be worth $99.95.
Something comparable to Delphi, before they added all that
buggy database connectivity, perhaps.
