Changes in this release (from 3.2)

----------------------------------

o Integration of Florian's Generic Call Interface (GCI) into Regina.

Supported platforms to date are Windows, OS/2 and Linux.

o Fixed bug with TRACE F and its "conversion" into "N" on a subsequent

call

to TRACE BIF.

o Addition of Polish native language support courtesy of Bartosz

Kozlowski.

o PARSE LOWER and PARSE CASELESS added.

o Major changes to EXIT handling

o Regina determines internal and external queues by the fact that

external

queues MUST have a '@' in the name. Therefore any time a queue name is

used; in RXQUEUE or ADDRESS...WITH, then if the queue name has a '@'

then Regina treats this as an external queue, and requires the RXSTACK

server to be running.

o New BIF POOLID. Allows the current variable pool number to be obtained

(effectively the level of called subroutines).

o VALUE BIF allows environment to be a number corresponding to a variable

pool number. Therefore unEXPOSEd variables in any subroutine can be

accessed.

o API functions Rexx*Dll() now implemented.

o Locale support for BIFs like TRANSLATE now supported, and can be

overridden

from command line. (-l switch)

o Algorithm for determining where a Rexx program is (either from command

line, or

a CALL statement called. Apart from a change in the precedence of

directories

an environment variable REGINA_SUFFIXES is used to supplement the file

extensions

that Regina uses to append to the passed file name. More details can be

found in the

Regina documentation.

o Regina OPTIONS can now be specified as an environment variable, which

will set the

default values for OPTIONS. The OPTIONS instruction can still be used

and will

override the defaults.

o A new OPTION has been added; CALLS_AS_FUNCS to allow programs that use

the non-ANSI

format of "CALL label(arg1,arg2)". Although this is implemented as an

OPTION, it can

only be set via the REGINA_OPTIONS environment variable!

o Another new OPTION; QUEUES_301 to duplicate the behaviour of Regina

queues; both

internal and external.

o Some memory leak fixes with INTERPRET and some "handle leaks" under

Windows fixed.

o Initial support for SkyOS

o Fixed some old bugs: (documented in BUGS file)
