Update to pForth version 27.
Assume maintainership. Changes since version 21: V27 - Fixed REPOSITION-FILE FILE-SIZE and FILE-POSITION. They used to use single precision offset. Now use double as specified. - Delete object directories in Makefile clean. - Fixed "Issue 4: Filehandle remains locked upon INCLUDE error". http://code.google.com/p/pforth/issues/detail?id=4&can=1 - Fixed scrambled HISTORY on 64-bit systems. Was using CELL+ but really needed 4 +. - Fixed floating point input. Now accepts "1E" as 1.0. Was Issue #2. - Fixed lots of warning and made code compatible with C89 and ANSI. Uses -pedantic. - Use fseek and ftell on WIN32 instead of fseeko and ftello. - Makefile is now more standard. Builds in same dir as Makefile. Uses CFLAGS etc. - Add support for console IO with _WATCOMC_ - Internal CStringToForth and ForthStringToC now take a destination size for safety. - Run units tests for CStringToForth and ForthStringToC if PF_UNIT_TESTS is defined. V26 5/20/2010 - 64-bit support for M* UM/MOD etc by Aleksej Saushev. Thanks Aleksej! V25 5/19/2010 - Added 64-bit CELL support contributed by Aleksej Saushev. Thanks Aleksej! - Added "-x c" to Makefile CCOPTS to prevent confusion with C++ - Allow space after -d command line option. - Restore normal tty mode if pForth dictionary loading fails. V24 2/20/09 - Fixed Posix IO on Mac. ?TERMINAL was always returning true. - ACCCEPT now emits a space at end of line before output. - Fixed RESIZE because it was returning the wrong address. V23 8/4/2008 - Removed -v option from mkdir in build/unix/Makefile. It was not supported on FreeBSD. Thank you Alexsej Saushev for reporting this. V23 7/20/2008 - Reorganized for Google Code project. V22 (unreleased) - Added command line history and cursor control words. - Sped up UM* and M* by a factor of 3. Thanks to Steve Green for suggested algorithm. - Modified ACCEPT so that a line at the end of a file that does NOT have a line terminator will now be processed. - Use _getch(), _putch(), and _kbhit() so that KEY, EMIT and ?TERMINAL will work on PC. - Fixed : foo { -- } 55 ; - Was entering local frame but not exiting. Now prints error. - Redefined MAKE_ID to protect it from 16 bit ints - John Providenza says "If you split local variables onto 2 lines, PForth crashes." Fixed. Also allow \ - Fixed float evaluation in EVALUATE in "quit.fth". - Flush register cache for ffColon and ffSemiColon to prevent stack warnings from ;
