I am running ISC 2.0.2 Unix and ISC text processing package. When I have
the following line, with neither of the registers set on the command line:
.if \nG==1&\nI==0 \{\
.tm inside coverdef G=\nG I=\nI
It gets past the if statement and shows that both registers are indeed zero.
If I change the order of the test, like this:
.if \nI==0&\nG==1 \{\
.tm inside coverdef G=\nG I=\nI
It doesn't get to the next statement, just as I would expect. If I do -rG1
on the command line, then it gets past the if statement, as I expected.
What the Hell is going on here? Is the ISC version of DWB 2.0 broke?
