[Flashforth-devel] ff5.0 abort"

[Pete Z. <pza...@pz...>]

Hi Mikael,

A quick question concerning ff-pic24-30-33.s abort" <text>" ( f -- ) . 

It appears that at runtime, abort" will print <text> if flag is FALSE .
Most FORTH documentation suggests that abort" should print <text> if flag is TRUE .

Am I confused yet again?

I did that to write
bl word find abort" ?"
instead of
bl word find 0= abort" ?"

There is also this case
2 1 3 within abort" ?"

It just seemed silly to put 0= in front of every abort".

Also I think it is more logical to abort on negative(= false) result.

But yes, it is not compatible with other forths.
