Hi, Bernie

It's pretty easy to make your own ZIPed copy of the Euphoria directory. Maybe
I'll post one later tonight on my Yahoo Euphoria group.

You can get a pretty good idea what is required to run Euphoria by looking at
Euphoria\Bin\Bin.doc. The only files neccessary are the individual interpreter
executables. Most of the standard library is wrappers for machine_proc/func
routines, so in many cases you dont need it (I always
use machine_proc/func; less "including" overhead that way).

The documentation provided with Euphoria is excellent and you know it! C.htm/doc
provide valid reasons why Euphoria is more productive than C/C++ in most cases,
though some points might be repeated. Heck, pretty much any language is nicer
than C or C++.

The GIF banner on the main webpage is half true, but pretty much just marketing.
Euphoria isnt more powerful than C++ (apples or oranges anyone?), but it sure is
more "cleaner" than most BASIC dialects.

RDS should do more marketing/advertising so more folks can find out about
Euphoria, and make our little family bigger.

Vincent
