- Re Changes in dpANS-3 (Bernd Paysan):
-
- bp> 8. VALUE changed to take an initial argument from the stack
- bp> (like CONSTANT)
-
- I hope we'll get some background on this. Of course, it is now
- reversed to the way it is in F-PC and like everybody else has
- had it for a decade, but the previous dpANS proposal was better
- with respect to ROMmability (IMHO). I suppose now we'll have to
- put in code ( a chain? ) to initialize all VALUE's when the
- system boots from ROM.
-
- Does this mean that VARIABLE's and CREATE structures may be
- initialized too (I know the committee doesn't want to think
- about ROMmability yet, but...)?
