Linux on a Wintel box
I may actually have gotten this info from someone here, but just
in case...
If you do your Euphoria development primarily in DOS, but without
dipping into the OS-specific stuff, there's a reasonable way (if
you have enough disk space) to run Linux, and therefore
Euphoria/Linux, on your DOS/Win machine, so that you can test
your code under Linux as well as DOS.
DragonLinux is a Linux implementation that uses UMSDOS to sit 'on
top of' your DOS/Windows file system - boot the DragonLinux
kernal in DOS mode on your machine, and you're all set.
DragonLinux (currently at v.0.8) can be obtained via the web at
http://www.dragonlinux.nu - it's about 44MB to download, and
installs to about 100MB - so you'll need about 250MB to play with
on your system to get it up and running.
Side note to Robert: Be is about to come out with a version of
BeOS that will run as a 'virtual system' on a DOS/Win box; I
don't recall how much disk space it will require. Could a
version of Euphoria be placed on the 'to do eventually' list?
