Hello, all.  Welcome to  alt.lang.euphoria, an unmoderated newsgroup
for discussion of the DOS-based programming language Euphoria.

Euphoria is a basic-like language which executes 10-20 times faster
than
Qbasic.  Faster than Java, too.  It's shareware from Rob Craig's Rapid
Deployment Software at:


You can also find links to various enthusiastic Euphoria user's pages.

In addition to web sites, there's a mailing list.  From the Euphoria
homepage:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks to John Kinne of Miami University we now have a mailing list
server
for Euphoria. Anyone who is interested in discussions about Euphoria
can
add their e-mail address to the Euphoria mailing list. All you have to
do is
send e-mail to:

LISTSERV at MIAMIU.ACS.MUOHIO.EDU

If your name is John Smith the body of your message would be:

subscribe euphoria John Smith

Give your first and last name, not your e-mail address. The list
server will
determine your e-mail address automatically. The subject of your
message is
ignored. The list server will immediately reply to you with full
instructions
on how to participate in the mailing list.

After subscribing, you can e-mail a message to
EUPHORIA at MIAMIU.ACS.MUOHIO.EDU and it will automatically
be forwarded to everyone on the list. There are special commands for
removing yourself from the list, and customizing various features to
your liking.  By participating you will find out what other people are
doing with
Euphoria, and you will be able to solve Euphoria problems for yourself
and for
others.  RDS participates as well, and everyone benefits from lively
and
informative discussions. These discussions are archived so you can
retrieve them at any time.

Euphoria's plenty fast enough to write games in. At least two people
have written games which are near commercial quality.   Also available
from Rapid Deployment's homepage.

The email list is pretty active; lots of wannabes and real programmers
chiming in.  Seems a good time to add a newsgroup to the mix.

Regards,

Warren Evans
