LS
There is a new version available on my home page (see sig).

Changes:
December 1 2017
v5.6

Editor:
     Lines longer than max characters not having any space
     were incorrectly split. Fixed.
     Now splitting is done at any (viable)punctuation,
     loosing that character.
     Also a alert is displayed.
     KIT: field 'split lines' should have been TOUCHEXIT. Fixed.
     Pure C (standard) ispunct is a nonsense function.
     New function is_punct in common/aaaa_lib.c
     moved functions is_alpha and is_alnum to aaaa_lib as well.
     This kind of split is not considered a change, however:
     when the file is saved, the new state of the lines is saved
     as well.
     Beware!! including the character loss when not corrected.
Compiler:
     Flag missing initializers. (also missing in HCC :-)
     Fixed message [2]arg nil.
       (happened with propagated assignments involving bit fields.
        e.g. a.x=b.y=z where x or y are bit fields.)
     Generic list routines in its own file and header
     (list.c, list.h)
     Fixed 'warn .. r1 in use' for ^ operator (exclusive or).
     A little bit of cleanup.
Linker:
     No of files reported 1 too many. Fixed.
     Matching 8 byte names against longer names
       now works both ways.
Standard library:
     Fixed wrong declarations of 'struct time' and 'struct date'.
     math.h : moved prototype of 'atof' to a place where it now
     is declared for AHCC as well.
Shell:
     Improved 'Make All' statistics.
     Replaced VDI input functions for the mouse (needing physical
       workstation handle) by approppriate AES functions.
       (notably: vq_mouse, v_hide_c and v_show_c)
     Thanks to Olivier landemarre for pointing this out.
     Small improvement in load/saveconfig (aaaa_lib.c).
Applications: CALC:
     Small improvement in parser: skip spaces between : and %.
     Specifying a new filename forces a create.
     (Non functional menu 'new' removed.)
     Pure C's scanf has problems with text fields > 31: fixed.
     exactly 32 not fixed, but avoided (too much uncertainties).
Shell: ESC in journal, menu Calc (calculator)
Applications: CALC & TINYCALC:
     Generalization of the parse routines.
     Both programs now use the same routines from /common/
     i.e. F_x.c, F_x.h

     F_x(x, y, text) now can be used as a function of x in programs
     that display values of x for many x's.
     i.e. X^2+2*x+1   or (x+1)^2 or x^2+2*x*y+y^2 or (x+y)^2
     :-)

     CALC must only be compiled by AHCC.
     Pure C's f get/set pos are a little bit unreliable.
     TINYCALC is now part of CALC in the AHCC source distribution.

Whole:
     replaced any use of .. scanf by appropriate simpler
     alternatives. Saves about 2.5K

Have fun
