Since Bill already explained that this is not a bug, then I will leave
that alone. :-) This "feature" just comes from one of the many
ambigious rules that came from the standards... maybe all of this will
be cleared up in the next release of standards. :-)
Now, what I am curious about is the fact that you have Core Wars Deluxe
for the PC??? This is something I haven't heard about yet! :-) Would
you mind telling me where you got it (so I can get it), or if you did
it yourself, I would be happy to hear more about it! The next version
of Core Wars Deluxe is still currently only half done (I have rewritten
all of the assembler parts, but haven't touched the MARS yet). One of
the things that I am doing is developing the next version on both the
IBM PC (in fact, using an XT for one, and a 486sx for another copy) and
the Unix system... So far everything is working perfectly and exactly the
same (including with memory usage)! :-)
If anyone else is runnig any PC versions of the Core Wars Deluxe, please
let me know, I would be happy to hear about it... :-)
