[Algol68-user] Testing version of Algol 68 binding of the Xforms library

[Sian M. <poe...@fa...>]

Today I have uploaded to www.poenikatu.co.uk/algol68/ the testing
version of the
Algol 68 binding of the Xforms library. You will need the Web68 system
(a literate
programming system for Algol 68). Let me know if you have any problems
with the
binding. It has not been tested thoroughly, but most of it should work.

The tarball algol68-devel.tar.bz2 has been updated with the source of
some utilities
which no longer use Algol 68 arguments, but the normal Linux arguments
of a program.
The regex module and include file have also been debugged. Regular
expressions are
useful in all sorts of ways. The Algol 68 regular expression module and
include file
use the regular expressions provided by the FTE editor except that the
set complement
is not ^ but ~ and the set range character is not - but :. The regular
expression
metacharacters can be changed to suit the programmer. See rx init.

GUI programming is never easy, but Algol 68 makes it interesting.
