A note for users upgrading from previous versions of DX-Forth
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Changes and improvements to DX-Forth may occasionally result in
|
|
compatibility issues with previous application software.
|
|
|
|
Usually the problem takes the form of an application either not
|
|
loading successfully or (less common) not running - despite its
|
|
compiling and running correctly on a previous version of DX-Forth.
|
|
|
|
For the first case, the user should try loading OBSOLETE.SCR before
|
|
loading the application. In most cases this will fix the problem.
|
|
OBSOLETE.SCR contains functions that once existed in DX-Forth but
|
|
were removed due to obsolescence.
|
|
|
|
Should the application compile but fail to execute correctly then
|
|
the incompatibility is likely to be more subtle. In this instance
|
|
one should read CHANGES.TXT to ascertain what function behaviours
|
|
have changed since the application was originally developed.
