Re: Bug Reports - To where ?
That's too many bugs. I'm giving up EUPHORIA and going back to QBasic.
Just kidding.
If I have a DOS 32-bit program and want to take it to WIN, there's no easy,
quick procedure, is there, since I will have to be using Windows in the WIN
version. Or does WIN create a window wherein things happen?
