It's quoted directly above, in quotes, in parenthesis.  I met a guy on
Usenet a few years back who wouldn't read what was in parenthesis ... ever.
Is that you but using an alias?  You seem to have somewhat similar memory
and comprehension issues...  If not, why do you insist on portraying
yourself as a liar?  Everyone can read that.  Do those words mean something
entirely non-English to you?  I.e., is this a comprehension issue on your
part?

History?  No...  What history?  I've only posted *ONE* bug complaint
regarding bigForth.  ONE!  Where do you conclude that's a "history" of
complaints about it?  Doesn't that require many more than one to be a
"history" of them?  Have you got me confused with someone else ... ?  It
rally seems like it.  Maybe you lumped some of the complaints by others here
about bigForth into your mental "RP file"...

Or, maybe you mistook my posted comparisons of Win32Forth, bigForth, and
gForth ITC to be complaints ... ?  Those happen to be free Forth's that run
in Windows.  It's easier to test them than use DOS versions of Forth.
That's why I post comparisons with them.  But, this even this assumption
forces me to speculate as to why you perceive me as having a "history" of
complaints about bigForth...  As I've stated, bigForth is much faster than
the other two and Win32Forth has some ANS compliance problems.

Technically, that one "bug" complaint wasn't a "bug" according to the ANS
specification.  But, it is very definately, a compatibility "bug" with
bigForth.  All other Forth's I've tested so far *DO NOT* work the way
bigForth works.  It causes a variety of Forth code from c.l.f. archives to
break.  One can argue, that such code is broken, i.e., non-ANS and that
bigForth isn't, but bigForth is definately in the minority...

Have you got me confused with someone else?  I did comprehend what wierdness
was going on with bigForth's DUMP.  I even stated so!  Where were you?
Saying I didn't, is a failure of you to comprehend or remember what you
read.  Him stating that I'm the problem is an insult.  DUMP is something so
trivial there is:

1) no need to do things wierdly,
2) should be no reason for it to require an explanation of how it works,
3) should not require someone to spend any time figuring it out,
4) should not cause people to laugh at the apparent stupidity of it, and
5) should not cause anyone should be confused by it.

This is clearly a design choice issue.  He said he inherited DUMP's
definition from the code base he used.

> [...] when he asked for a bug report.

No one was filing a bug report.  So, who cares if he asked for a bug report?
When asked to do so by him, I very clearly stated it wasn't a bug...  I.e.,
no bug report needed.  Why should anyone file a bug report for something
that is not a bug?  That makes no sense whatsoever.  Did you not read the
thread?  I get the strong impression you ignored 97% of it.
