Modem sharing

Has anybody impartially benchmarked 2.0 against 1.5a ? (I'm obviously talking
DOS here)

Rob :

time now for          {foo,bar}=get_coords()
and                      {{2,1},{3,6},{8,-1}} * {1,0}

also, I would like to see the possibility of some stricter structure
(flexibility is wonderful, but sometimes you NEED an array)

I suggest :

------------start
type coord(sequence c)
    return length(c)=2 and atom(c[1]) and atom(c[2]) --coordinate data type
end type

sequence of coord foo  --foo is a sequence of coordinates
-------------------------- end

this prevents me doing type checking of the form

  for a=1 to length(foo) do
    temp=coord(foo[a])
  end for

now type checks need only be done on individual coordinates in a sequence when
they get changed, rather than a huge overhead checking the whole lot.




Here is a project for somebody familiar with PPP or SLIP or winsock who wants
to learn Euphoria for Windows.

First, is it possible to give a web-server-style PPP/SLIP interface via a
serial port using winsock.dll ?
The idea and reason is this :
Out of the three computers I have here, only one can access the internet (I
won't bore you with the details), however with an emulated web server via the
serial port, this could be done. It would also allow somebody to share a modem
or ISDN line over a small network.

1. Can this be done ?
2. Would somebody like to do it ?
