a) The original 4th86dem.zip had the word FPEVAL omitted from the dictionary
in error. This meant that the file NUMTEST.4TH would not load. This
omission has been remedied -- and other words have been left in the
dictionary which were also removed in compiling 4th86dem.com
b) The intended acknowledgment to United Controls Corporation in the sign-off
screen was inadvertently "concealed" by being transferred to another
screen that was subsequently deleted. This has been remedied.
The versions on ftp.demo.co.uk /pub/forth and on Compuserve are being
updated to include both of the above corrections.
c) Because of a request that colored text be used to replace white on black;
two new words have been added -- COLORTEXT and PLAINTEXT
COLORTEXT is configured to give as default yellow text on a blue
background. The color can be changed using the command xxx GCOLR !
where xxx is the numeric value for the color you prefer.
PLAINTEXT will return to white on black.
These words should only be used in FULLSCREEN mode. While they will do
no harm if used in SPLITSCREEN or tutorial mode -- they will de-activate
the paging and windowing built into the tutorial text -- and they will
not properly de-activate the F1 and F2 key useage.
