- 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!
