Hi Thorsten,

This is quite impressive!!!

I think I've found the first item the should be corrected. In the FAQ on 
page 403 in PicoLisp Works:


43.3 Why does the REPL exit when NIL is typed?

The REPL does not exit any longer. This behaviour was changed in version 
.. When?


I cannot find this question here (anylonger): 
http://software-lab.de/doc/faq.html

Is your PicoLisp Works FAQ based on old/expired material?

I'm looking forward to when these PDFs can be downloaded without having 
to be a Facebooker. ;-)


Keep up the good work!

/Jon

review 2000 pages). Just report anything wrong you notice here in the
mailing list, or even better, clone the gitrepos, make a private branch,
fix any mistakes you encounter, and send me a patch or pull request.

2012-08-24 Thread Thorsten Jolitz

Hi Everybody, 

thanks for the feedback.

One remark with regards to downloading the docs: as far as I know, you
can register with scribd.com either with your facebook account or just
via a standard registration form and then download my books (any many
other) directly from scribd. 

Otherwise, you can search for user 'tj64' on github.com and find both
repos there. Each of them has one download, which is the respective book
in pdf format. Maybe the fastest and easiest way. 

Or you could clone the git-repo (don't know if you need your own github
account for that), then you will have the .tex and .pdf files on your
machine.
