Lines: 25 I am using Alan Pratt's C-Forth under SCO XENIX 386 2.3.1 and have the following problem: In the editor, when I edit an existing block, mark it for updating, and flush it out to disk, exit forth, restart forth and look at the block file, the original block is unchanged and the block which results from my modifications appears at the end of the block file. Is this something which is supposed to occur or is it a bug? If it is supposed to happen, it is quite annoying for the obvious reasons. I've been looking through the source code some, but as I am still in the learning stages of Forth, I haven't come up with anything yet. Has anyone else come across this problem and fixed it? The version of C-Forth I am using is from volume 1 of the comp.unix.sources archive on uunet. Is there a newer version I should get from elsewhere?
