form@fix

First published in 2003, then revised in 2005, the new (2008) form@fix is this -- to download.

To demonstrate the new stuff, no specific (executable) file format is necessary. Thus, we may work with

\F "fixRaw.htm" 

Running frozen@mid80-style formal-nets for computing. The list of potential applications is unbounded.

A fantasy baseball (with statistics gathering), a home-grown DoHS, or for project-timing, etc.




First though, we may just demonstrate how frag is runnable, right away.

for just fragging, with form@fix

The referrable data for our first fragging example is,

\r1 firstByte	\*=  0xAF
\r4 total	\*=4 14350

The code listing is

\r fragCode		\F@ @FragFun
	\'total / firstByte =@ firstByte'
	\*= 0

That is, the firstByte 0xAF dividing the (four-bytes wide) total 14350, the result is 0x52.

The "\*= 0" is the string-terminator byte, telling that the code text is finished.

As a result of framing like "\F@ @FragFun" (a form@fix macro), fragCode is runnable, just as a formal-net,

\F* fragCode

reporting through a file

After storing the result back into firstByte, if we output that to a text file, that byte is seen as the letter 'R'

-- if your platform is ASCII-friendly. 'R' is corresponding to 0x52, in ASCII.

\a total
\F== "firstR.txt"

The output is upto "total." That is why, we go there with that "\a total" just before the \F==

free up the memory used in the remz-names table (symbol table)

Just demonstrating. Not that just two referrables would choke form@fix.

\r/ firstByte	\\forget all of the names after firstByte
\r- firstByte	\\forget that, too

This (manual garbage-collection) is useful if your application is referring a lot (lots of referrable names).

The \r- removing the specific remz after some use (cold turkey) is safer than re-defining with \r! all the time.

\r opposes when told to (re-)define existing names. \r! would just re-define.

\r/ is for removing all after that remz. The remz is remaining. To remove that, \r- may follow.




farewell

All right. Having finished what we would like to produce, we may finish the form@fix session.

\A--



getting the result

First, save this document, & fixRaw.htm in the working folder, where you'll run.

If form@fix (fix.exe for MSDOS or Windows) is accessible, you may run form@fix through the command

fix  formFix.htm

Alternatively, start form@fix, then invoke

\F "formFix.htm"

After that, go find the file firstR.txt in that folder. (That is the text file "firstR" if no extension is seen.)
