Fixpoint Numbers strange problem

I am exploring PicoLisp again after several years. The idea of PicoLisp is so very appealing. It is getting my reality to fit in its idea. I have revisited my original problem from this thread. https://www.mail-archive.com/picolisp@software-lab.de/msg07561.html At that time I still could not

Re: Floating Point numbers vs Fixpoint numbers

Thanks for the reply. My apologies for so long a delay in replying. Work jumped up and slapped me real hard last week. No time for anything else. :( On 07/15/2017 05:52 AM, Alexander Burger wrote: Hi Jimmie, thanks for your long feedback and sharing your experiences! I have spent a fair

Re: Floating Point numbers vs Fixpoint numbers

I would like to thank all that helped with questions. My apologies for the very, very, very long message below. I tried to detail my recent experiences. I have spent a fair amount of the last 4 days playing with PicoLisp. I thought I would give it a try even though it is quite primitive

Re: Floating Point numbers vs Fixpoint numbers

Hello, Thanks for all the help. It is a little more complicated than in languages with support for floating point, but it appears manageable. I think I am slowly wrapping my mind around it. What I didn't see in any of the examples is this : (format (*/ 9.9 9.789 9.56789 `(* 1.0 1.0)) *Scl)

Floating Point numbers vs Fixpoint numbers

Hello, I am trying to understand something about PicoLisp and Fixpoint numbers. I am writing an app and would consider PicoLisp should I get my head around Lisp. But I do not understand how to use numbers. I use a lot of floating point numbers and lots of calculations. From simple

Re: Learning Lisp

Thanks for the links. However, I get a Not Found error for the LISP Programmers Manual. I searched on that site but could not find it. But I searched and found it here. http://www.softwarepreservation.org/projects/LISP/book/LISP%201.5%20Programmers%20Manual.pdf Jimmie On 06/11/2017

PicoLisp's apps licenses

Hello, When I browse the source for either VIP or the Wiki I do not see any explicit licensing for these applications. I understand that PicoLisp is licensed under the MIT license. However, I do not know that it is explicit that these applications are part of the PicoLisp language. I think

Re: Introduction

Thanks to all who reply/replied. To me dev mailing lists like this one create a community. I like things that make it personal. I have been on many mailing lists long enough that I know most all the players. I also know something about them as people. Like now I know that chri enjoys funny

Re: Problem with VIP

Yes, it is 64 bit. This is strange. I did the same thing for the one I downloaded which identifies itself as 17.5.16. I entered the src directory and did make. I then went to the src64 directory and did make. I did this for both 16.12 and the 17.5.16. I thought I was using the 64bit

Re: Problem with VIP

Thanks, that solved the problem. I had installed the 16.12 version. Again thanks. Jimmie On 05/24/2017 11:33 AM, Alexander Burger wrote: Hi Jimmie, welcome to this list! :) Hello, I have successfully installed PicoLisp in my ~/Dev/PicoLisp directory. I have also made the symlinks for a

Problem with VIP

Hello, I have successfully installed PicoLisp in my ~/Dev/PicoLisp directory. I have also made the symlinks for a global install in XUbuntu 17.04. I have also made the symlinks for libncurses. I have also installed Vip so that I can learn it along with PicoLisp. However, I am having problems

Learning Lisp

Hello, I am new to PicoLisp and Lisp in general. I know that PicoLisp is not Common Lisp and is much closer to the original Lisp. However it seems most books are Common Lisp oriented. While browsing Amazon I was wondering if any of these books might be good to get a good understanding of
