I have just downloaded and tried out all your examples. I thought you might like to hear my observations.
The imagelib example didn’t work at first because iupimglib.dll was not in your zip file.
I think most Euphoria users have their own favourite Editor/IDE. I am no exception. File extension ew is normally reserved for windows library files and so won’t execute by default. I changed all the examples to exw files.
In several of your examples you have a puts statement to display user input/choice. In many cases the Editor/IDE will automatically close (or not even visibly open) the Command Prompt Window. I, as a general rule, would put the following line before the IupClose?():
if getc(0) then end if
This will guarantee the output is displayed before closure.
I have used Win32Lib, Arwen, wxEuphoria, euGTK and eujapi. Each has its own appeal. I look forward to writing some IupEu applications - my first impression is very favourable.

Thank you for your feedback! I will update the win32 runtime. The win32 runtime was created before imglib was wrapped and I forgot to update it when 0.2 came out, sorry about that.
I am not sure yet what to do about exw vs exu files. The examples will run on Windows, Linux or FreeBSD?. Traditionally exw is windows and exu is unix, but these examples will run untouched on either. I have asked a question on EUforum about the file extension problem.
About the closing. Maybe to make it as cross-platform as possible, I should display the results in a IupMessage?() box. This would allow everyone to see it regardless of which method was used to run the program.
Thank you for this info. I will make the changes you have suggested.
