Unlike Wine, you can't actually *run* any Windows programs in Microwindows,
unless you recompile them with the Microwindows library. And while it's
implemented a lot of the GDI API, (so you can draw and blit to your heart's
content), there are a lot of missing controls.

I've gone through a lot of the sample code (especially relating to
controls), but I've never been able to get the code to compile.

Then again, I tried using a rather anemic compiler.

Again, I think you are confusing it with Wine. Unlike the Win32 and Linux
versions, the DOS version of Euphoria isn't capable of linking to an
external C library, unless you do clever things with the compiled version.
