I believe you can be forgiven... after all, the author, as well as I, the semi-official fully part-time lunatic-in-charge of maintenance, failed to see this as well. > BTW, was there any consensus about the proposed string > handling extensions to intercal?

I am hoping that there will be more interest in this topic, now that I have released Version 0.6. How about it folks? I'll try to post a summary of the discussion so far as soon as I get a chance. Also, I expect I will be posting an 'official patch' to correct this latest problem (the ABSTAIN/REINSTATE problem) in the near future, assuming a satisfactory solution can be found. Oh, and speaking of patches... if any of you find there is a compiler error due to 'linebuf', there is a spurious declaration in 'ick.h' that can be removed. The line is: extern char linebuf[]; This did not cause a problem on the (BSD-ish) platform I use, but was pointed out to me by someone with a System Vr3 platform (thanks again Kevin!), where the compiler is a bit more picky about sloppy stuff like this (no offense, Eric, this was MY error!) -steve -- -------------------------------------------------------+"Come, Watson, come!"
