XPL Pseudo-Code



To the Group:

I've posted an improved/corrected/enhanced XPL-to-pseudo-code
utility. To avoid confusion with an older routine, I've given it
a new name:
FAUXCODE.PM. It appears on the TTG BBS (410-576-8806; N,8,1) as
an enclosure to public message #10625.

Chet says:

≫ The only possible problem with Carl's XPL is that it works on

I seriously doubt that's the only possible problem!  However,
I do point out in the documentation that manual editing usually
will be required. (Actually, as originally written, the
function-call restore tested all two-alpha combinations followed
by a space. Now I cast a wider net so that it tests all
*two-character* combinations followed by a space -- to account
for non-alpha funcs like #1, @A, &Z, ≪, ≫, etc.

Chet asks:

≫ Carl, are you going to provide a Xy 3+ version too?

Let's get this version stable first. Then we'll see.... Is
there much demand for a III+ version? Bear in mind that the
current one, though it runs only under Xy4/XyWin, will convert
III+ code. While I'm at it, let me say that I'm eager for
feedback on operation under XyWin. It wouldn't surprise me if it
crashed -- CHange commands being highly erratic in XPL running
under XyWin.
