The iPhone version of J sets the value of UNAME to 'Darwin' this is usually the value set for mac systems. I realize the iOS and mac versions are very similar but there are significant differences the most important being no 2!:0 shell calls for iOS.
How can a running j script distinguish iOS from other J hosts. I note a lot of addon code tests from various UNAME's 'Win', 'Linux', 'Darwin', 'Android' even 'iOS'. jdb On Thu, May 31, 2012 at 2:54 PM, bob therriault <bobtherria...@mac.com> wrote: > I think with this hint of conspiracy (the missing 1.21 a la the Avro Arrow) > this beta may be complete! :) > > Great work, Eric and I echo Joey's question of whether there is anything else > we might do to help. > > Cheers, bob > > On 2012-05-31, at 12:33 PM, Eric Iverson wrote: > >> 1.21 was for my personal enjoyment (you don't want to know) >> >> On Thu, May 31, 2012 at 3:25 PM, Joey K Tuttle <j...@qued.com> wrote: >> >>> Oh!
