There is no standard GUI for Euphoria, and as far as I can determine, Robert isn't interested in adding one. That means it's up to third parties to develop interfaces to GUIs, and IDEs for those interfaces. Irv Mullins wrote: > Developing a Windows IDE is a huge job.

This isn't going to happen. 1. Win32Lib is no more 'official' than VEL, or any other Win32 library. 2. Like Gary, I work full time. 3. Money isn't a motivation for me, and won't make me work faster. On the other hand, if people want to lend a hand with the Win32Lib IDE, that's fine with me. -- David Cuny
