Checked everything by eye with Anna; checked in. Closing.

14:31 CoCoA-5 Design #563 (Resolved): Remove ZMOD type from CoCoAInterpreter

I've removed (commented out) the relevant lines in @Interpreter.C@ and @AST.H@.
I also had to change two packages (@... John Abbott

15:47 CoCoA-5 Feature #25 (Closed): Function "Call"

Apparently this has already been done (but Anna forgot to "close" properly).
John Abbott

15:02 CoCoA-5 Feature #561 (Resolved): Emacs UI: unrecognized keywords (ImportByValue...)

Everything seems OK to me (after a perfunctory test).
I suggest closing this issue -- if an omission comes to light,... John Abbott

14:50 CoCoA-5 Design #491 (In Progress): Cleaning: Cruft in CoCoA-5 packages

Perhaps this task is best achieved by Anna and me together; we should meet occasionally and remove "dead" code from s... John Abbott

12:44 CoCoA-5 Support #609 (Resolved): Package "empty.cpkg5"

When I make a new package I copy an old one and empty it, and that's what I suggest to do to people (Elisa ;-) who ne... Anna Maria Bigatti

12:33 CoCoA-5 Support #609: Package "empty.cpkg5"

Why do you think it would be useful?
What do you think it should contain?
To be useful I suppose it ought to export... John Abbott

12:30 CoCoA-5 Support #609 (Closed): Package "empty.cpkg5"

I think a package "packages/empty.cpkg5" would be useful. Anna Maria Bigatti

12:30 CoCoA-5 Feature #500: Interpreter: is it possible to avoid useless prompts?

I have checked in the code for automatic prompt suppression (in @Main.C:153@ and @LineProviders.C:85@; but the code i... John Abbott

12:05 CoCoA-5 Feature #500 (In Progress): Interpreter: is it possible to avoid useless prompts?

Since C++ is rather less than helpful in this matter, I think a better solution would be to add a command(s?) to the ... John Abbott

11:58 CoCoA-5 Feature #500: Interpreter: is it possible to avoid useless prompts?

This appears to be impossible in C++ (version 2003), at least in a fully portable way.
I have found a post which exp... John Abbott

11:55 CoCoA-5 Feature #608: Emacs UI: C-return for send-line and send-region

Well done John! it works!
(almost: I had to make a tiny change to make it work also on emacs 22)
Now I have no exc... Anna Maria Bigatti

17:42 CoCoA-5 Feature #608 (Resolved): Emacs UI: C-return for send-line and send-region

I have added @cocoa5-send-line-or-region@ as well as bindings to @C-RET@ and @M-RET@.

and cocoa5-source-reg... Anna Maria Bigatti

16:57 CoCoA-5 Bug #433: EMACS UI: trouble with sending a long line

I now have a cleaned solution -- our Emacs code is very "evolutionary" (rather than "intelligent design").
I'll ch... John Abbott

15:37 CoCoA-5 Bug #433: EMACS UI: trouble with sending a long line

I have an ugly solution that appears to work fine in Emacs 23.2 and 24.1.
Now I'll try to make it neater.

14:45 CoCoA-5 Bug #433: EMACS UI: trouble with sending a long line

I suggest adopting the @SourceRegion@ solution; it seems fairly unlikely that saving the file could really be a probl... John Abbott

This issue has been idle for 5 months. I think we can close it.
Anna's solution is "ugly" (because it causes many... John Abbott

15:56 CoCoA-5 Design #607: Emacs UI; remove send-buffer?

OK for removing it (I removed it some time ago from the "CoCoA-5 menu").
Maybe you should redefine the C-c C-b bindi... Anna Maria Bigatti

15:43 CoCoA-5 Design #607 (Closed): Emacs UI; remove send-buffer?

There is an emacs UI function called @cocoa5-send-buffer@. Its effect is practically identical to that of @cocoa5-so... John Abbott

18:32 CoCoA-5 Bug #104: Misprints suggestions: Z --> ZZ

Some tests:
@ZZ@ is suggested when giving @ZZZ@, or @zz@, so it is indeed in the list.
