Re: [colorforth] Bug in 'less' / Good work!


Sorry about that. I'm not good at meticulous testing. Nor is the Pentium
good about avoiding pitfalls.

On the other hand, I consider 'less' obsolete. I use the word '-if' to test
the sign bit. It's compatible with the c18 that doesn't have a carry, let
alone the elaborate status combinations of the Pentium.

And it avoids the complications of 'less'. The sign is either set, or it
isn't. Of course, you might be surprised that it's set, as with adding
40000000 to itself.
