There are two (count'em, two) portable Euphoria interpreters in the
works as we speak.  David Cuny is working on his Gnuphoria interpreter,
aka Project X.  Inspired by David's work, I too am writing an Euphoria
interpreter in ANSI C.  It compiles successfully with DJGPP for MS-DOS,
as well as the Gnu C Compiler for Unix on my ISP.

And now a question for Rob... what is the object() function supposed to
do?  "? object(x)" displays x, not a true/false value like the other
type functions: atom(), sequence(), integer()...  I guess types are just
functions... try this:

type foobar(object x)
    return x
end type

object hey
hey = {1,1,2,3,5,8}

? foobar(hey)
? object(hey)


weird, huh?

But an object() function would be useless because everything is an
object, so it would always return true.  Boggles the mind :)
