There is a new version available on my home page (see sig).

Changes:
December 1 2017
v5.6

Editor:
Lines longer than max characters not having any space
were incorrectly split. Fixed.
Now splitting is done at any (viable)punctuation,
loosing that character.
Also a alert is displayed.
KIT: field 'split lines' should have been TOUCHEXIT. Fixed.
Pure C (standard) ispunct is a nonsense function.
New function is_punct in common/aaaa_lib.c
moved functions is_alpha and is_alnum to aaaa_lib as well.
This kind of split is not considered a change, however:
when the file is saved, the new state of the lines is saved
as well.
Beware!! including the character loss when not corrected.
Compiler:
Flag missing initializers. (also missing in HCC :-)
Fixed message [2]arg nil.
(happened with propagated assignments involving bit fields.
e.g. a.x=b.y=z where x or y are bit fields.)
Generic list routines in its own file and header
(list.c, list.h)
Fixed 'warn .. r1 in use' for ^ operator (exclusive or).
A little bit of cleanup.
Linker:
No of files reported 1 too many. Fixed.
Matching 8 byte names against longer names
now works both ways.
Standard library:
Fixed wrong declarations of 'struct time' and 'struct date'.
math.h : moved prototype of 'atof' to a place where it now
is declared for AHCC as well.
Shell:
Improved 'Make All' statistics.
Replaced VDI input functions for the mouse (needing physical
workstation handle) by approppriate AES functions.
(notably: vq_mouse, v_hide_c and v_show_c)
Thanks to Olivier landemarre for pointing this out.
Small improvement in load/saveconfig (aaaa_lib.c).
Applications: CALC:
Small improvement in parser: skip spaces between : and %.
Specifying a new filename forces a create.
(Non functional menu 'new' removed.)
Pure C's scanf has problems with text fields > 31: fixed.
exactly 32 not fixed, but avoided (too much uncertainties).
Shell: ESC in journal, menu Calc (calculator)
Applications: CALC & TINYCALC:
Generalization of the parse routines.
Both programs now use the same routines from /common/
i.e. F_x.c, F_x.h

F_x(x, y, text) now can be used as a function of x in programs
that display values of x for many x's.
i.e. X^2+2*x+1 or (x+1)^2 or x^2+2*x*y+y^2 or (x+y)^2
:-)

CALC must only be compiled by AHCC.
Pure C's f get/set pos are a little bit unreliable.
TINYCALC is now part of CALC in the AHCC source distribution.

Whole:
replaced any use of .. scanf by appropriate simpler
alternatives. Saves about 2.5K

Have fun
