I remember there was native versions of Euphoric for Linux.
They worked in plain console and svgalib, and I was using Euphoric for Linux with a 486 pc and a b/w monitor. It even had a special option for b/w monitor, -m (monochrome).
That 486 was hardly able to play mp3's and I have managed to play mp3's only with mpg123 optimized for 486. Oric programs were running perfectly!

In console!
As far as I remember that version was not working with more modern Linux versions, probably because of changes in svgalib. I was using RedHat 6.2 or 7.0, do not remember exactly.
And I think if sources are still there it would have sense to make it work with modern svgalib or find which is a problem now.

And yes, there is also xeuphoric, though it has some strange sound problems

Besides, if there are sources available I can try to convert all x86 asm to C, so it will become crossplatform application! I suppose (or hope) most code it is not written in asm :)

Then it's probably a better idea to participate to the "Caloric" development.
Euphoric has been improved quite a lot in the few last years, a number of emulation bugs have been solved, features have been added (physical tape emulation, debugger, sound dump, ...) so it's better to work on this more recent code base.
