Let's start over here. I am interested in programming & have for many years. Now Euphoria claims it is easy to create & learn how to create programs. I am willing to learn. I have read some of the introduction to Euphoria & have been playing with several pgms I have d/led. I kind of like the idea I have the "choice" to edit, hack, whatever you want to call it, in order to make pgm do what I want it to do. On substituting bmp for png, I knew I had to convert the image files first, then I thought all I had to do was edit the .eu program file. Ok I was wrong. That is why I joined this mailing list was to find out what Euphoria is all about. So far I see the same thing, updates to alot of what I call plugin. One pgm I was running worked with Win32Lib file but another pgm would not. It is confusing to me & I am sure alot of others, all these versions out there. Something I wanted to know today was: 1.] When compiling files to a .exe file, what is the minimun .exe would be? Say my .eu file is 10,000 bytes, what would the .exe file size be? In away I would hate to compile pgm as it would be easier to change it uncompiled. My biggest problem with all this is, there are so many pgm files to keep up with. Altho without "that" version pgm file, the pgm itself probably would not work. Compiled into one pgm file (.exe) compiled pgm would work every time regardless if I upgraded a pgm file. Example: Win32Lib pgm file. 2.] All these what I call plugins, dll.e as a example here, don't they take up alot of RAM memory in general as they are all loaded into memory when I turn on pc? When I installed Euphoria just AFEW DAYS AGO now, I notice instructions wanted Euphoria to be in path statement. Win9x takes up alot of RAM memory. I hesitated on having any more take up memory but am trying it out for the time being till I find something else does not want to work. 3.] Does one really save hard drive space by leaving files uncompress? 4.] What about when a pgm file is upgraded (Win32Lib), does this mean I have to edit say my blackjack pgm file (bj.eu) in order to get my blackjack pgm file to work again? 5.] What are some of the limitations of Euphoria program- ming language? Thank you for replying in advance & hope someone out there understands....YES I AM A NEWIE BUT SO WERE YOU AT ONE TIME. Lee
