Hi. I wrote a variable finding program. The output is below for
those interested (yes, it relies on ack), but the questions the output raises
are:
- Does the $?TABSTOP have a special meaning, or is it just an example
like $?FOO is in so many places?
- Should those @?ROUTINE, etc, variables be removed from S02 like they
were from S28?
- Is $?NF a special Unicode variable?
Maybe also the questions that I put in the "Not yet defined" section
are appropriate here too:
- We seem to have $*INC in the table at the top, @*INC in S19 and the
table immediately above, %*INC also in the table above. Are all 3
correct?
- The $?LANG and $*LANG variables are also confusing (both in S02,
with completely different meanings).
Thanks. Output follows.
