you are welcome to find and download a new Refal-5 Version called Version ПѮ .
This version does work, for the moment, only in the environment of the operating system Linux x86_64.
later - МВТУ (в СССР), founded in 1868.
-- A number of old errors were corrected. Many thanks to Alexandr V. Konovalov
for the moment, not supported under Windows.
-- Syntax of Refal-5 has been extended with the unicode characters that is:
-- the unicode character set is now a subset of the Refal-5 data;
-- the program syntax is extended as well;
-- the domains of some of built-in functions are extended;
-- the domains of some of Refal library functions are extended (see reflib.ref);
-- a number of new both built-in and library functions were created.
--- A short documentation on the extensions is prepared in a separate pdf-file.
Это означает, что синтаксис данных поддерживает не только Кириллицу, но и глаголицу, и китайские иероглифы, и арабскую вязь, и т.д.
Все это при условии правильной установки локали в вашей операционной системе, а именно, по-умолчанию должна использоваться
кодировка utf-8; кроме того, чтобы (пока) некоторые Рефал программы общались с пользователем по-русски по-умолчанию
значение переменной окружения LANG должно отождествляться с образцом: 'ru_' s.R s.U '.UTF-8'.
Если при запуске компилятора refc приходит сообщение Version ПѮ, то это означает, что все параметры локали установлены правильно,
иначе refc сообщит о Version PZ.
In the case the local in the operating system Linux x86_64 was installed as following,
the environment variable LANG is 'ru_' s.R s.U '.UTF-8' (i.e. Russian and utf-8 encoding),
then the Refal-5 version is specified as Version ПѮ and some of programs included
in the distributive will contact to users, using Russian.
-- A number of new switches/options to run both the Refal-5 compiler ( refc )
and the interpreter Refal-5 ( refgo ) are present.
See the options with launching
linux> refc --help
linux> refgo --help
-- A number of other students of the same University took part in further development of the Refal-5 system.
Many thanks to both the students and their university instructors!
The university instructors are Alexandr V. Konovalov and Antonina N. Nepejvoda.
We hope the further development done by the students
will be soon incorporated in the Refal-5 system as well.
The best regards,
Andrei Nemytykh
