Dear Gaby, Waldek, I tried today to port from open-axiom the feature that allows an ordinary function to return a type, but failed. I.e.:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- )abbrev package EXPORT ExportType ExportType(x: Ring): with baseRing: () -> Ring == add baseRing() == x ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I := baseRing()$EXPORT INT 1$I should give [EMAIL PROTECTED] Curiously, *that* feature works with the patch below, but there are lots of regressions. It seems that "Complex INT" does not work anymore: (3) -> m: Complex INT := 1 >> System error: Caught fatal error [memory may be damaged] Gaby, does that ring a bell? Help would be greatly appreciated!
