<br>
tahnks, I fixed the )HELP issues, <b>S</b><b>V</b><b>N 951</b>.<br>
<br>
Not sure what you mean by releases. If it is major releases like
1.6, 1.7... then<br>
the corresponding release announcement normally tells what the
major improvements<br>
are. The next finer granularity is SVN commits, and for them I
consider the SVN commit<br>
text to be more useful than a separate CHANGES.txt file. You can
use the <b>svn log<br>
</b>command, either for individual files or for directories to
retrieve these messages.<br>
<br>
I will be AFK for almost two weeks from now and will have a closer
look at mem.cc<br>
when I am back. Please remind me if I should forget that.<br>
<br>
Best Regards,<br>
Jürgen<br>

<div>Now, it would be useful to implement a "help" option to
NATIVE -- but I haven't done that.</div>

<div>As a side-note, it would be useful to have a CHANGES.txt file
detailing the changes from a release</div>

<div>Find attached a first cut at shared memory support (mem.cc).
It allows mmap() of a region</div>
<div>(get the file handle from fopen), and supports floating,
integer, character, complex vectors</div>
<div>of different sizes transferring from GNU APL to and from the
shared memory region. I am</div>
<div>working with this currently, and when I get some experience
will try to graft into some</div>
<div>of the primitives. But this gives an idea of what I was
talking about at the beginning of the</div>
<div>month.</div>
