If this is a first year comp-sci class that is really cool ! This prompts an interesting idea: RDS can steal a page from Apple Inc and take Euphoria to the "Battle for the Hearts & Minds"... Most Mac enthusiasts will admit that if not for falling in love with the little smiling cpu in school they never would have pressed management for getting them at work. Apple gave away thousands of Macs (and Apple][ units before that) to schools. I think Apple called it their "First Love" strategy. :) Rob: If you are interested in promoting Euphoria through schools contact me via private email for a special distribution strategy that will protect your interests while allowing you to give the software to schools freely. PS: Greg, be sure your teacher touches on OOP design theory near the end of the class. If he is teaching Pascal then Delphi would be a good way to demonstrate as the syntax is obvious. Also "The Waite Group" publishes an excellent text ["Object Oriented Programming in C++"] that is really a great OOP tutorial first and a great C++ tutorial as well.
