newLISP-TK examples

I propose we as a group put together some example programs for newLISP.

When I looked there were no examples of a scrolling text window for the simple display of text. I would like to suggest that a newLISP-TK example be generated that expands the POP3 example into a simple mail viewer.

+NAN the noun Vs. NaN? the Verb

Promoting +NAN to the state of being a noun in NewLISP was truely a big leep in logic :) Fixing the verb NaN? to be consistent with the other XXX? functions completes the puzzle. NaN? should return True or False based exclusively on NaNness and nothing else. All the other (xxxx? tests operate this w...

Spoke a bit too soon :(

One more little problem with NaN :(

> (set 'X nil)
nil
> (NaN? 'X)

Value expected in function NaN?

I would have expected a return of nil, I will add it to the
previous online test.

Yet One more thought :)

Simple Answer: Yes and Yes :) Please Understand the last "C" project I personaly coded was many years ago. What version of Borland are you using I WILL locate a copy. One workaround that comes to mind is to force the error early. In NewLISP internal init code. redirtect stdio to null, do a (sqrt -1)...

CGI examples of the problem.

Been there done that..... I have set up a CGI test so you can see my problem. "LSP" files are evaluated by your latest greatest, and "LISP" files are processed by the last known stable version before we started messing with it. <center> <A ref="http://autocode.com/run/nan-1.lsp">" http://autocode.co...

How about

How about a new subber (+NaN) that performs a (sqrt -1) function internally and returns +NAN without the error. The error is the only real problem, now. I have not tried it as a CGI yet but I am sure it will go boom when I do ... I will give it a test late tonight. I dont care about Pi it is easily ...

+NAN

Pi is stored as an 80 bit float in the co-processor as a constant. Your solution returns a 64 bit float If we stay in this solar system then polar error is not too bad :) Just Kidding. I only need a symbol that has been set to +NAN to still be a NAN after a save and load. (save) saves it out as (set...

My Last Justification for +NaN

In my example +NAN is in fact just a symbol like any other symbol, only it has been (set) to a NaN, the return value generated by the sqrt: DOMAIN error. I use '+NAN as a reference symbol to the actual NaN in memory. I can just as easily refer to it as 'X. In fact +NAN does in have a value. It is no...

Freeing up orphaned contexts.

I again repeat myseld here in the New Forum ..... Now for something completily .... well at least no NaNs :) How do I free up orphaned contexts without restarting the application? I can (load) or (save) contexts just fine but how do free one up and release the orphans without restarting ? IT is so c...

NAN revisited, a crossover from old to new.

I posted the following on the old forun last night. Now I have figuring out case sensitivity problem I was haveing with loging in here. I will repeat myself here in the New forum. Here we go on an adventure in NAN :) Fresh Start: newLISP v6.5.23-win32 Copyright (c) 1993-2002 Lutz Mueller. All rights...
