Pygmy Forth Version 1.3 Beta Test Standings:
JETHOMAS is in the lead with 2 reported bugs and 1 fix. Who will be
next?
Bug 1: DO LOOP in the Starting Forth section wasn't changed to match the
new FOR NEXT. The fix is to remove the 1- at the end of the definition of
(DO) on screen 171 of PYGMY.SCR.
Bug 2: In order for the program to open your files automatically, you
must have OPEN'd the files before creating the new .COM file. This is a bug.
All you should need to do is install the file with UNIT. The file should not
need to be open when you do SAVE to create the new .COM file. The quick fix
is to add CLOSE-FILES just prior to OPEN-FILES in the definition of
(BOOT on screen 79 of PYGMY.SCR. Then re-meta-compile. (Or just do 79
LOAD SAVE PYGMYNEW.COM ). This fix doesn't get at the heart of the matter.
I think there still must be an underlying bug, but I haven't found it yet.
I'll let you know as soon as I do.
I hope to find the cause of 2 above before uploading a corrected file in
the library to replace #2202. If you pass along copies of #2202, please make
the above two corrections.
To JETHOMAS
Thanks!
