[Factor-talk] DOS Encoding

2016-10-26 Thread Alexander Ilin 
Hello! I'd like to parse some log-files created by an old-style DOS program.They contain pseudographics characters for drawing frames and tables.Technically, that's not ASCII, but a superset with all 8 bits used.Do we have an 8-bit encoding that would support that? I took a look at the basis\io\encodings\8-bit\ folder, but among those latin1-latin10 encodings nothing screams "DOS Pseudographics". A little guidance here, anyone? ---=---Александр

Re: [Factor-talk] restricting ratio literals

I think there is value in having such in important word (string>number)
have a documented behavior. Right now it's hard to document all the things
that are correctly parsed by this word...

Imho, choose based on what makes the implementation better. If the
parser can be written in a simpler (and probably faster) way by
dropping support for ratios in uncommon bases, then let's do it. Tbh,
I don't think any ratios other than those on the format int1/int2
needs to be supported.
