Correct behaviour when loading a dictionary from a tape with multiple dictionaries?
Lawrence Woodman
I have been working on getting xAce to support multiple dictionaries on
a tape.
It seems to be working well and am now finishing off the automated
tests. I am
however a little unclear about how this works on a real Ace. If anyone
has one,
could they clarify the behaviour below so that I can get the emulation
correct.
I have a tape image containing two dictionaries.
The first called 'test' which has one word defined:
: test ." This is a test";
The second dictionary also has one word defined:
: test2 ." This is test2";
When I am at the beginning of the tape, I type:
load test2
The emulated Ace then displays:
load test2
Dict: test
Dict: test
Dict: test2 ok
Is this what you would expect or should it just be:
load test2
Dict: test2 ok
or maybe:
load test2
Dict: test
Dict: test2 ok
If anyone could let me know the correct behaviour on a real Ace, it
would be much appreciated.
Currently the correct dictionary is loaded properly without problems,
but I would like to get
the behaviour spot-on.
Best wishes
Lorry

That would be great. Once I know the correct behaviour, I will ensure
that it conforms and upload the changes.

I hadn't seen it until you mentioned it. Just had a look on the website
and it looks very good.
