You can program this easily in Euphoria. But before it is best to start with
simpler projects, if this is your first approach to programming.
You can find many old DOS programs at simtel.net

There are some libraries in the Euphoria site, both provided by RDS and User
Contributed Programs, that can help you to program this. Please search the
files.

It obviously depends on the task to be performed.  Some of my Euphoria
programs needed 15 minutes of programming and testing, others needed one
day, and my most complex program (an algorithmic composer) took about one
month.
