Yes I do understand what you mean.

I'm pretty sure you don't need DCOM for Allegro to work - that still leaves
a few levels!.

I guess the main reason I went the Windows route is that Windows 2000/NT and
further
MS OS's will not be able to handle DOS based graphics apps. So euAllegro is
my
"hopefully"  long term games development platform.
Also the Allegro Linux port is exciting.

If Euphoria had better DOS connectivity a DOS version of Euphoria would be
possible as well ... that way you could have your cake and eat it to!
I'm looking at Free Pascal as a possible solution.
