An updgraded version of Yerk, the Object Oriented Forth for the Mac, is available for anonymous ftp on oddjob.uchicago.edu, in directory ~ftp/pub/Yerk. If you already have version 3.3.0, you need only ftp the 'upgrade.sit.hqx' file. If you do not have a previous version, ftp the complete package in file 'yerk3.3.2.sit.qhx'. The manual has not been changed. The basic changes from 3.3.0 are: COSMETIC CHANGES - revised bold fonts in // so 9 pt chicago not loaded - class window now erases grow box when grown - now cursor is erased with delete key if +curs is set - slight cosmetic change to (.mod) - slight change stop: timer - ?lines changed in nuc to keep bottom line on screen and grow: method in window changed to send current line to bottom if grow shortened window. BUG FIXES - modified savesig - added negate: to class Int - fixed slight bug in decompile (for floats) - fixed to: problem in pathList source for sarray (file pathlist) - some changes to Install Module..it still does not create a stand-alone application, but does reset dictionary and stack sizes - slot manager traps now correct I would appreciate a note from anyone who intends to seriously use this development system. Future upgrades will be forthcoming, and any reasonable suggestions will most likely be included in such upgrades.
