I've just compiled oleo-1.2.1 on a NeXT running NeXTSTEP 3.0. Things that
seem noteworthy:
- oleo uses CPU time like crazy even when no user interaction
takes place. Looks like it is waiting for keyboard input in raw
mode a little bit too busy (just a guess).
- the header file dependencies in Makefile.in look like some
`make depend' generated stuff. It's not a good idea to have
this in Makefile.in, which should be as generic as possible.
I noticed this because Makefile.in contains a direct dependency to
/usr/include/ctype.h which NeXTSTEP 3.0 does not have (it's
in /NextDeveloper/Headers/ansi/ctype.h).
This is of course trivial to fix, but nevertheless annoying.
- when a floating point value is entered into a cell it gets
reformatted to use the maximum number of possible decimal
digits, e.g. one enters 42.1 and the cell gets filled with
something like 42.10000000001.
I know that this is due to a bug (or non-POSIX conformance)
in NeXTs sprintf formatting code and therefore not strictly
a bug in oleo, however, I suspect there may be more platforms
that have this problem so maybe oleo should do it's own formatting,
at least when it comes to screen output.
