        I do too!

        And many customers that would like a win95 version are not on the
list, here are the ones that like the dos-version....
        Writing if for Windows opens a whole new market..
        It would not make sence, they aren't on this list (yet) and can
not vote for that reason...

        The only thing i really want to see change is the fact that some
Euphoria programs run under Windows, if that needed to be possible
write a nice userinterface your self, like win95.
        I just want to be able to switch to windows mode in my program and
to call dll's.
        You should be able to call a dll without making a windows version...

        Maybe the whole windows interface thing can be saved in a DLL.

        So people can always call a DLL and if they want there program to be
a windows program call a special dll (already delivered with
Euphoria) which talks to windows and do the hot stuff some would like
so much...

        This way there isn't dos or windows version or compatibility
problem, just Euphoria, and you can use it for either dos or windows.
        You can also write dos/windows combination programs... :)
        (Like a lot of win95 games!!)
