## Nga
|
|
|
|
New queries via fetch:
|
|
|
|
-4 for min integer
|
|
-5 for max integer
|
|
|
|
## Notes for the future:
|
|
|
|
You can now build a 64-bit RETRO by doing:
|
|
|
|
make clean; make CFLAGS="-O2 -DBIT64"
|
|
|
|
This is not well tested yet, but everything should work as
|
|
normal, you just get a much larger integer range. Note that
|
|
this requires a newer version of the VM with added queries
|
|
via fetch to fully support.
|
|

(1) `unix:time` is now removed
|
|
(2) `clock:timestamp` is added
|
|
(3) the system can now be built as a fully 64-bit system
|
|
with minimal changes
|
|
(4) the `ok` prompt has been removed
