        I always thought windows and dos program weren't different except
windows programs call dll and load some standard code which generates
a constant look-and-feel and saves a lot of update-trouble and
hd-space, the dll's are automatically updated with new versions of
programs, i can see the use of it...
        But the only thing Euphoria needs is a couple of routines which call
dll's. If you use the standard windows dll to generate a window and
some basic gui, is your own choice. This gives us far more
flexibility then a text-console, which is a totally unnessasary
thing, and the effect can easily be done by an own Euphoria .E, we
don't need no slow dll for everything, but some stuff like printing &
soundcards and stuff can be a lot easier if we had the option to call
a dll (Windows or NOT).
        I could be wrong... ..if so please tell me..
