I wrote a new tolower for nationalcharactersupport. I have not done that since J turned Unicode.
To begin with then I did it in JQT on the Android. JQT has never worked for me in Android before this latest release. It took some time learning how to go about this. Turns out that the national characters and the QT editor do not always agree. Running all lines from the editor could therefore be a bit garbled at times. Fixing the lines sometimes worked even if they looked pretty much the same before and after. I did this in steps with globals to see what was happening. The short story is that I managed to do this in the end. Started out with the system utility tolower. This two liner is in a script now with 33 lines. tolowerna uses 7 u: in order to work. Now that I have it working I may compress it - or not. Might even put comments in it. I never bothered with this in other new environments because I did not really need it. My older versions where and when I needed this are working merrily in pre Unicode versions of J. I recently was going to work on a crossword assistance for the Android and I needed this to work and in J console it did not because of a bug in u: It is nice to be able to get the qt version up and running and I am looking forward to do work with wd and pd. Even if this can be made to work there are some quirks with editing sometimes and may need some getting used to. Copy/paste does work but not easy. Sometimes unintentional copy/paste happened. Scrolling and sometimes it looked like lines turned readonly Files or the terminal froze ob occasions. It is a very interesting and promising tool. I found my old way of doing everything in a file and send lines to terminal working fine. Viewing and then scrolling the terminal can be a problem. Much of the problems may be me not knowing enough. This is getting quite useful. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
