I can't wait to try it out.

Uhh ... didnt dos.e already do this? In fact, Juergen, didnt you get most
of
the dos code FROM dos.e? Not to say that our lib isn't useful (personally
I
think it should be part of the standard includes, but then again thats
just my
opinion) but that wouldnt it be easier to get dos.e from the archives
than to
extract the DOS-only code from file2.e? (I wouldn't know, I've mostly
done
the Unix-only part of the programming on it.)

About file2.e: I'm working on some more Linux improvements, I'll give
Juergen
a copy in a few days perhaps.

UNRELATED:
Here is 2 Euphoria versions I'd like to see:
Ecu built with cygwin for windows, and Exw built with Winelib for Linux.
I doubt Rob will have enough time to do this, but if somone else did, it
would
be extremely useful for comparing MS-Windows to POSFIX platforms.
