15:52 <cox> what would be a good name to call a case default vector? i cant call it default because thats what the default initialization chain is called

15:53 <cox> historically i just called it dflt but i dont like that

15:53 <cox> default: ?

15:53 <cox> my case statemensts are case: x of xxx y of yyy z of zzz dflt nnnn ;case and between case: and ;case we are in interpret mode

15:56 <cox> i guess ill call it default:

15:58 <cox> tho actually im not sure why i did not realise this waaaaay back when i first implemented this code but i dont need to be in interpret mode as long as i make OF immediate lol

15:58 <cox> 64 bit x4 is not going to be identical to 32 bit :)

15:58 <cox> well it already isnt,

15:59 <cox> err no scratch that it does need to be in interpret mode

16:23 <proteusguy> cox, how about "otherwise"?

16:24 <cox> thats a possiblity but the problem with that is its not what people expect it to be named - everyone callse it case of and default

16:24 <cox> so my plan is to TRY to be as clsoe to those as i can

16:24 <cox> ish

16:24 <proteusguy> well you already ruled out default so what do you want? :-)

16:28 <proteusguy> cox, my ActorForth has a pattern matching capability based on types. It uses underscore, '_', as a catch-all.

16:29 <cox> ya lol

16:29 <cox> oh btw

16:29 <proteusguy> case: 1 of xx1 y of yy1 _ zzz ;case

16:29 <proteusguy> something like that?

16:29 <cox> that would be so divergent from the norm even i would have problems reading it lol

16:29 <cox> btw this is mark4 (i created a cox account here because im working for cox communications from home)

16:30 <proteusguy> well then otherwise seems like a winner to me.

16:30 <proteusguy> oh hey Mark! haha

16:30 <proteusguy> Mark's evil twin.

17:11 <cox> lol

17:12 <cox> i have my 64 bit version of x4 working mostly, i think there are still a few bugs in the kernel and im working on pulling in various extensions, im on the terminal stuff right now - something isnt working right :)

17:12 <cox> but ive got a saved out extended forth that runs unless you call one of the broken words :)

17:13 <cox> just fixed a bug in case: where i was using >mark and >resolve - can not use those because those compile a 16 bit delta not an absolute address
