Re: [Flashforth-devel] FF 5.0 BASE hidden?

[Mikael N. <mik...@pp...>]

BASE is hidden for robustness. For example 1 BASE ! does some strange stuff.

HEX, BIN, DECIMAL is what I have ever needed in practice.

Elizabeth Conklin mentioned the rationale that decimal is the
normal base that words that change base should return to.

I admit FF does not follow that rule :-) , either.
