Fair comment. Having P is more standard.

Try unpack (see manual)

Note at site says "little endian"
but just says "4 unsigned integers" so I don't know what they think the bytes per integer is. 4 bytes per integer would be 32 bit. 4 bytes for 4 integers would be 8 bit.

Hi Lutz, The reasion I suggested _questionmark_ is that listp is a likely name for a user to choose for ther own defined predicate function (especilly if they have an oldLisp background) - I was looking for a substitution that was unlikely to result in a naming clash. For a shorter form how about li...

Hi Lutz, I'm looking into the help linking and noted: 1. doc location setting Using newlisp 8.7.9 compiled on Suse 10 86_64 I tried the "text is highlighted with the mouse, than right-mous-button/menu/help" and found the context-sensitive help tried to link to /usr/share/newlisp/newlisp_manual.html ...

Thanks Lutz for the edited version. Regarding list? etc the '?' will keep the manual nonstandard html/xml accepted only by the grace/whim of the browsing application. While it could be massaged on the way to latex I feel finding a correct representation in the html is a solution for the longer term ...

I'm posting some comments on newlisp_manual html tags on doc thread http://www.alh.net/newlisp/phpbb/viewto ... =5633#5633 .
They may help conversion to latex.

Hi Lutz, In looking at a html2latex.lsp converter I've run newlisp_manual.html through tidy ( http://tidy.sourceforge.net/ ) which can convert to xml (xhtml) which I'm planning to analyse with newlisp xml functions. Tidy reports this apparent mark up error line 11958 column 21 - Error: <t> is not re...

I'm glad you like it Peter, Thanks for the help Eddie. By the way, the cyberone servers (the ISP I use) seems to have gone down tonight for anyone trying to get the pdfs - I don't know if they are just changing their IP address and it is taking time for the DNS to propogate as I'm getting 'failure t...

Hi Eddie, I found it worked putting it here: \renewcommand\labelitemiv{{\textbullet}} } \usepackage{newcent} % Pages styles (master pages) \makeatletter The font is much clearer.

Hi Eddie, I tried putting in \usepackage{newcent} in but it didn't change much - there possibly is something that needs to come out to let the package work. I tried taking out amsfonts but that didn't help. Anyone know the trick? The pdf was a first try so perhaps changing use of styles, and by that...

Hi all, I've had some success generating a pdf with a hyperlinked Table of Contents using this tool chain: 1) import html manual into openoffice (2.0), save working file in openoffice format 2) generate a table of contents with included hyperlinks using openoffice functionality with hyperlink refere...

Hi Eddie,
I'm pleased you have the skills for latex, while I raised it as an option I don't have the experience you have.
I look forward to seeing the text, a well set manual can be a thing of beauty in itself.

Nigel

Potentially you could have a single source that could generate multiple formats. the advantage over html to pdf would be more control over the pdf with the option of generating a paper format if desired. I'll look into whether there would be any loss in html quality ie if framed html can come from l...

Lutz,
Would you consider a Latex manual that could generate pdf and html?

Nigel

I'll look around for a way to do linked contents automatically.

Nigel

Hi Lutz,
I like the manual in pdf. Perhaps the pdf Contents could have active links into the manual body? Once in the body the cross-links work well.

Nigel

makeing symbol-names like ':something' unavailable, which may be a good thing Lutz On the other hand it probably stops one doing a macro that could accept the standard keyword style - I've not thought this through but I gather that (my-keyword-driven-fn :x 2 :y 3 :b 2 :a 4) can't be done now? Nigel

As I'm at UT+10 here in Australia any of those would get me well into 'tomorrow'.

Nigel

...(USA time)?
Eastern (UT-5) West Coast (UT-8)? Hawaii (UT-10)? Samoa (UT-11 I believe)?

I've recently bought 2 middle range computers and a barebox and even the barebox one was 64bit - they're very quickly going to become all you can get.

Nigel

Fantastic! Thank you Lutz, it will make my parsing of stdout much easier with stderr going elsewhere.
