That's not quite entirely true. Win32lib is is just one of many Windows
libraries that people have built using Euphoria. You might like to look at the
other offerrings in the RDS archive. Some people have written applications that
do not use any of these windows libraries, instead they have called the API
routines directly.

You are correct about this 'danger', but one of the reasons win32lib is
available in the form it is is so that people can derive specialized versions of
it if they want to.

The current home for the version of the library that I maintain is ...
