    Well, there are several ways, but if you want to maintain the structure
your sequence with the data, using EDOM could make your life a lot easier:

    -- Example code begins:

        include edom.e

        sequence my_seq
        my_seq = {"BlaBlaBla", 4, 5, {{ 344345.2343, 'f' },"" } }

        if edo_save ("myfile.edo", myseq, CP_NONE)        -- (No
compression)
            puts(1,"Unable to store data in myfile.edo")
            abort(1)
        end if

    -- You can load it back up at any time:

        sequence my_seq2

        my_seq2 = edo_load ("myfile.edo", CP_NONE)

    -- Now my_seq2 contains the same data as my_seq did

    EDOM saves a sequence to disk at a pretty efficient way, and you can
load it back just as easily.
    It is also *lots* of faster than using print () and get ()
    Well, print () goes faster dan edo_save (), but get () goes 100 times or
so slower than edo_load (), prolly because get () is an Euphoria include
file, and thus not a built-in optimized piece of code.

    If you like the speed, and prefer basic, go get yourself PowerBasic, it
compiles basic to extremely fast machine code. (beats Turbo C in
optimization..)

    I do not have anything against people expressing their beliefs, nor do I
want to start a flame war, but..
    Why is every1 expressing their beliefs ? Do they want to be appriciated
or more positivily judged by other because of their beliefs ?
    No offence, but I keep wondering, why tell the world 'that you're also a
member of that club' unless you think that people might have more respect
for you, which shouldn't be a good thing IMHO.

PS Warning: The edom version at RDS' site contains a couple of bugs, it
might be better if Robert removed the link for now. As soon as I get my self
some floppy disk, I can copy the 'bug-free' version from my old computer
(don't have any disk, this is the CDROM-age I guess)
