Vectors?

Rick,

Thanks for the tutorial, I will study it and test it.

Only took me a quarter century to catch up. ;)

I think it’s best to look at the next quarter century, though…

In 1997, Acorn User was my documentation, neither from internet nor DDE.

That’s easy. ;)

I used an online image resizer (https://onlinepngtools.com/resize-png) top convert the big image into something a little more forum friendly.
It’s amazing what a lame job it has done. It’s good that it preserved the transparency, but if you’re scaling something like 500 pixels down to about a hundred, there really ought not be visible jaggies in the smaller one!

I have an Android JPEG resizer app that is almost as bad, for much the same reasons.

I find it quite astonishing that ChangeFSI is able to create far better quality. It’s almost as if these modern things simply resize by working out how many pixels to step before throwing one away…

Me too. I have no interest in looking back – only forward.

Uh… I was referring to myself!

My sister an IFA says most people underestimate how long they will live. According to: https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthandsocialcare/healthandlifeexpectancies/articles/lifeexpectancycalculator/2019-06-07
Someone aged 59 will probably live for another 25 years (Age 84)
If aged 54 then life expectancy is 30 years
I (Current age 66) can expect to live to age 85 and have a 1 in 4 chance to reach 92, 1 in 10: 96 and 2.9% to get my telegram from the king.

And why is it a “vector”?

The Java guys had the same idea, but changed their opinion later when designing their collection API, where the interface is called “List” and implementations are called “ArrayList” or “LinkedList” which is obviously a lot better. Apart from the LISP guys who apparently expect something very special when someone promises a “list”.

Does the ARM free barrel shift per instruction help? I found an old, 26 bit? CLisp
I trying it on RPCEmu. Should I try WIMP programming? I did a RDP Inform to HTML in Common Lisp(s).
The Clisp source has a RISCOS (OS module/name space), should I try adding that to the last 32bit Clisp?
Is (n)curses command editing a RiscOs thing, CL editors, also for C, Asm, !charm (Action!)
lex files for those Algol variants for effectus for BBC 8 bit?
