* The timing stuff (TICKS) has been considerably cleared up,
but TICKS still is not available for MSDOS.
* Small errors in documentation, other improvements.
* Library enhancements, notably BAG and struct .. endstruct.
* Library reorganisation.
* (DOS/WINDOWS only) ARGC is not implemented. A compilation
using the -c option fails
* Small errors in documentation, other improvements.
In part based on feedback from Frans van de Mark.
* Build of archives and docs improved.
* TICKS available for Microsoft OS.
* Changing command interpreter didn't work in DPMI versions.
The defects following are solved in the upgrade path from fig-Forth to the first stable version 4.0 of ciforth. Most of them are not specific to a version, such as lina.
OLD DEFECTS
The things updated and fixed from version 3.275 is missing.
However most updates had to do with adding a Windows version.
VERY OLD DEFECTS
Old defects removed in .275 since 3.181 : Few real defects.
But the system is largely redesigned to have a library
mechanism and have options to compile stand alone programs.
Also there are changes in behalf of booting, windows and msdos
versions. See the RCS log.
* ID. crashed caused by wrong voc headers.
Old defects removed since 3.154 :
Defects in ciforth general :
* a binary of ssort must be included in a release
* FORGET must reset the vocublaries search order. (to prevent to
have forgotten vocabularies in there)
* names that cannot be found must give a long error message
(FIND) must not itself shorten names
* The ISO COMPARE word is still named $= (in the libraries)
* Improvement in header names add >PHA and rename >PFA into >DFA
* Error 0 (not found) must not take a special place.
It must be worded such that it is suitable for invalid options.
INVALID WORD OR NUMBER
* ' finds denotations. This is in itself is improper, but it
even find invalid denotation as long as the first letter
matches.
Defects in lina specific :
* ACCEPT must THROW (for eof). Now you cannot discern empty lines
in a pipe from an eof.
* BLOCK-EXIT must do EMPTY-BUFFERS (even though E.B is a NOOP)
