Thanks for stepping up itistoday, Astrobe, and others! Greg, your blog post on taoeffect turned me on to newlisp ten(?) years ago, and I remain a big fan. Like dukester I'm on my last quarter century, so not sure how much I can contribute, but at least a little cash here and there. I'm on the road f...

Aha!:
"Octals start with an optional + (plus) or - (minus) sign and a 0 (zero), followed by any combination of the octal digits: 01234567. Any other character ends the octal number. Only up to 21 octal digits are valid and any more digits are ignored."

Thanks.

This behavior was a little unexpected. newLISP v.10.7.5 64-bit on Linux IPv4/6 UTF-8 libffi, options: newlisp -h > (read-expr "08") 0 > (read-expr "07") 7 > (read-expr "06") 6 > (read-expr "09") 0 > (eval-string "08") 8 > (eval-string "09") 9 > (read-expr "08") 0 > $count 1 > (read-expr "07") 7 > $c...

Thanks, fdb, but I don't want utf-8 chars; I need a byte stream. But I think I've found a major source of my confusion, so I'll mark this thread "SOLVED": (char "x") => a Unicode code-point. This should perhaps have been obvious to me, but "code-point" is not mentioned in the Manual. Consequently my...

[See solution in thread below.] I'm trying to implement several versions of the Lempel-Ziv-x and Snappy compression algorithms.  Ordinarily, I like to get my logic straight in Lisp, and then, if I need the speed, I'll port the tight loops to a C library.  In this case, however, NEWLisp has been atyp...

Thanks, Lutz! I found the latest UTF8 build. That is doing the trick. (That and RTFM! :-/ ).

And many thanks for this great Lisp! (And for the great documentation.)

Running on windows, (exec)'ing Google Translate returns the following str inside a JSON container: (a) "Nous allons habiller pour la randonnée, selon la météo." However, somewhere in the process of a (string str "") or (replace x str y) the str begins to (println) as this: (b) "Nous allons habiller ...
