New LONGREAL modules
The following modules are now available from the cognac site and can be
considered to be in beta test:
LowLong.Mod
LongConv.Mod
LongStr.Mod
LongMath.Mod
OakMathL.Mod
Please note: Both OakMath & OakMathL call routines in RealMath/LongMath and
not vice-versa.
As always, if you have any problems or bugs with these modules please let
me know.
Exceptions are still not implemented as I'm waiting for someone to define
our global exceptions.
I have one question: when converting LONGREAL strings should the number
use a "E" or "D" exponent? Currently, the LongStr module expects "D"
exponents while the RealStr expects "E"s. This is contrary to the ISO
standard but more in keeping with Oberon-2 conventions. All numbers are
converted to strings with the "E" exponent.
Enjoy,
Michael
