04:33:37 <wuehlmaus> thanks so very much. You are now a hero of mine :)
04:35:41 <wuehlmaus> i love the shortness of that ' strings idea btw
05:18:05 <crc> thanks :)
05:19:34 <crc> the strings were a result of retro not exposing a parser. I can't do traditional Forth strings, but the ' style ones (and other prefixes) allowed me to make things more consistent overall and simplified the interpreter design a lot.
05:25:16 <wuehlmaus> and it is easy to type, e.g. s" this is a string" in gforth is almost an harassment :)
05:30:35 <wuehlmaus> especially that space after the beginning of "
06:29:30 <mpts> crc: thanks for the link; I couldn't find it :)
06:29:56 <crc> mpts: I haven't actually published a link to it yet
07:48:19 <wuehlmaus> crc: after the fossil clone line i did fossil open retro.fossil in a retro directory and it does nothing, what did i miss?
07:49:16 <wuehlmaus> how do i fill the retro directory?
07:54:51 <wuehlmaus> strangely my retro.fossil on my ubuntu machine is 1/10 of the retro.fossil on my Mac
08:11:30 <crc> it should populate the directory after the `fossil open retro.fossil`
08:11:54 <crc> the file size should be similiar on both; something may have gone wrong with the fossil clone :(
08:13:07 <wuehlmaus> strange
08:13:43 <wuehlmaus> i ask you because i was doing the same i did on Saturday and it did not work :(
08:19:53 <wuehlmaus> well, the fossil on my ubuntu is from 2015, perhaps that is the problem
08:22:00 <crc> that may be the case. I'm running a much more recent fossil instance.
08:22:57 <wuehlmaus> i try a newer version
08:25:43 <wuehlmaus> big difference
08:25:49 <wuehlmaus> yes, that did work
