- 02/25/91 FPC 3.5502 Changes and additions
-
- FPC 3.5502 is primarily a bugfix update. Most of the bugs listed in
- the file FPC350.BUG were fixed in 3.5502. In addition to bug fixes,
- the VIEWFIX by Robert Patten was incorporated to allow VIEW to
- function properly when nesting FLOAD's. The "HEADER", "HEADERLESS"
- words have been re-arrainged a little bit, since some words that
- were marked headerless needed to be available. A few compiler
- control words have been added to make allow making program code more
- compatible with the TCOM compiler.
-
- The way F-PC uses memory has been changed from using ALLOC many times
- in the various places in the program, to using only SETBLOCK, and a
- POINTER scheme to keep all of the memory F-PC uses together and under
- control. See the file POINTER.SEQ for more details.
-
- An updated copy of Robert Smith's SFLOAT is included, as is his new
- FFLOAT for the 80x87 floating point processor. SFLOAT is very fast,
- but FFLOAT provides a three to seven times performance improvement
- when a floating point processor is available.
-
- Other changes have been made, see the file FPCNOTES.TXT after installing
- F-PC.
