Re: What's holding Euphoria back ?
Of course I knew that, what I wanted to say is that the name has few
significance
for the developper, and for his boss... Blaise Pascal was not only a
mathematician,
but also a philosoph (? is it english ?) and collaborated to the
"Encyclopedie" with
Diderot, Rousseau and many others. I thought it was not that interesting on
this list,
and apologize to have been so short...
-No shame for france, cause I'm a true proud breton ... but that's another
debate 
My first name is Riwal, we have the stupid habit to put the last first.
sorry.

Raude you should be ashamed of yourself... Not only do you not capitalize
France to show respect for your country's name, but you apparently know
nothing of your country's history either... Pascal is named after one of the
world's greatest mathemeticians, Blaise Pascal, a native son of France.
