06:20:35 * crc has checked in some code to the playground, and is now beginning to work on file I/O for retro.fs and retro.rx
07:13:22 <crc> retro.rx now has environment queries and file i/o; now to start on the forth version
11:21:15 <crc> a partial implementation of file i/o for the forth implementation is in the repo now
11:37:33 <cfa> neat
11:37:41 <cfa> taking a look
11:39:46 <crc> writing and append modes aren't working properly. but I can read files and check the size of open files.
11:40:44 <cfa> how are files handles represented?
11:41:03 <crc> currently just raw pointers returned from the host forth
11:41:19 <cfa> (btw, mode? looks odd -- you seem to have either ( n -- mode r/o ) or ( n -- r/o )
11:41:37 <cfa> i might be misreading the case though
11:42:39 <cfa> yeah, i had file i/o fully working with the host handles -- but as i recall, this led to problems as a lot of them were negative when interpreted as signed
11:43:46 <cfa> and i think retro treats handles that are less than zero as invalid 
11:43:55 <cfa> (i forget the exact details)
11:52:42 <crc> a negative handle should be ok, as long as it fits into a single signed cell
11:58:13 <cfa> the problem may have been one of the words in files'
12:07:19 <crc> as long as the handle is non-zero, it should be ok at this point
12:07:34 <cfa> hmm, okay
12:08:00 <cfa> anyway, i wasn't happy with the way i implemented the words so it's not like this is a repeated effort
12:09:50 <crc> I'll get something working this week
12:12:45 <cfa> great
