#42 LONGWORDLIST (DLST) doesn't work with negative entries

[Anonymous]

I have a list of more than 5000 entries, both positive
and negative values. I try to add it as DLST. I get a
garbage value at position 2048 and it stops at 0x0C01.
Please see the attached cosinus.rcp which I included
into my main.rcp file just at the beginning.

It's not the length of the list that's causing the problem, but rather the
negative entries which are treated as expressions to be evaluated,
because we don't have a unary minus. That is - as usual, you've been
bitten by PilRC's crappy syntax.

e.g. "longwordlist id 1 begin 1 12 -5 2 end" gives (1 7 2) because that's
what 12-5 evaluates to. You can get the desired result with e.g. "begin 1
12 (-5) 2 end", but to be sure that's going to get tedious fast.

There may be a viable solution, but it'll require some thought.
