Hi there Don,


Oh ok, so you want to work on a general Windows Help for Euphoria?
What i was thinking was the help would show how to use raw Windows API
in Euphoria, not a library, but would show how a library could start
out perhaps.
For example, the function CreateWindowEx(...) 'C' definition would be
shown followed by the most conventional wrapping like:
  global constant xCreateWindowEx=etc.
but would also include some help with the parameters too, and how
they translate to Euphoria.
Sound interesting?

Oh you were talking about a schematic drawing program?
I thought we were talking about a circuit "analysis" program,
that looks at all the parts in the schematic and then does
a transient, dc, or ac analysis, with a plot output window to
show waveforms.
I guess we could start with a drawing program first though.



Take care,
Al

And, good luck with your Euphoria programming!
