 name> does not take the same argument as e.g. .name. Remedy: add cell+  
 before name>, but adapt all uses.  anton 23apr94 Solved?  
   
 revealing the same name several times (e.g., by using recursive)  
 results in "redefined ..." messages.  anton 28jul94  
   
 etags.fs crashes one of my applications (gs.fs). anton 12jan95  
   
 not all aliases are in the etags file. Bug in etags.fs? anton 24jan95  
   
 emacs often finds the wrong tag. anton 24jan95

 gforth should terminate when the input file ends. Also, C-d from the  
 terminal should terminate gforth. anton 16apr95  open-path-file expands "./" into the sourcefilename. It should either
   not expand "./" or provide a mechanism that allows the application to
 floating-point stack not checked.  anton 23apr95  determine what "./" should expand to. anton 16jun98
   
 .1 is interpreted as floating-pint number, not as double number or  gforth.el: Typing <ret> does not work when tabs separate words in a
 error. anton 4may95  line, and there is a \-comment at the end of the line.  anton 19feb00
   
   SEE does not work when the control structure is too complex (e.g.,
   load http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/forth/pentomino.fs and then do
   SEE NEXT-PIECE). anton 5mar2000
   
   Include cannot handle lines longer than 255 characters.  anton 4sep00
   
   Errors happening during a LOAD do not report the offending word and
   its context (e.g., the 64-byte line). anton 8sep00
   
   Our ecvt routine apparently does not work correctly for Infs and NaNs.
   Try "ac_cv_func_ecvt=no ./configure; make" and then in Gforth: "1e 0e
   f/ f. 0e 0e f/ f.". anton 25sep00
   
   Our ecvt routine does not round correctly, e.g., 0.25->0.3. Marcel
   Hendrix 3oct00 <8rdcmd$j96$1@news.IAEhv.nl>
   
   Newline has only LF (instead of CRLF) in DOS.  Bruce Hoyt 25oct2000
   <39f7b14b$2@clear.net.nz>
   
   SIGPIPE can make Gforth hard to stop (e.g., 
   gforth -m 2M wordfreq.fs -e bye|head
   anton 30may01
   
   F. does not print trailing zeroes (e.g., "10 SET-PRECISION 125e f.")
   anton 31may01
   
   It may be useful for printing tables of FP numbers to have ways to
   control the number of digits before and after the decimal point.
   anton 31may01
   
   Block 0 does not work as it should: "0 block drop update save-buffers"
   does not write to the blocks file.  "0 block 1024 dump" seems to give
   the previous contents of the buffer.  Travis Bemann 10jul2001
   <3b4b4f57$0$42883$272ea4a1@news.execpc.com>
   
   When accessing a block beyond the end of the block file, the result is
   filled with spaces (this is also documented).  However, when accessing
   a previously unwritten block before the end of the block file, we will
   get a block full of zeroes on most (all?) OSs.  This inconsistency
   should be eliminated and the documentation fixed.  anton 14jul2001
   
   F. does not print a leading digit for numbers <1, although it should.
   anton 19aug2001
   
   Path handling may have a bug:
   strace $FORTH 'fpath= .|~+/gforth s" /home/anton/threading-variations/gforth/mach32b.fs" include gforth/kernel/main.fs bye'
   tries to open gforth/kernel/gforth/kernel/aliases.fs, then
   gforth/gforth/kernel/aliases.fs, but not gforth/kernel/aliases.fs.
