issue! issue
[1/1] from: greggirwin::mindspring::com at: 23-Nov-2001 16:31
Hi Gang,
Is there a definitive guide to the issue! datatype? I know it can be treated
as a series, and it seems that it can contain just about any character you
throw at it, but I'm a bit confused by this:
>> a: to-issue "123;456"
== #123
>> a
== #123
>> print a
123;456
>> form a
== "123;456"
>> mold a
== "#123"
It almost seems like you can treat it as a simple buffer, but are they
inefficent for large amounts of data? Any advantages to using them?
Any expert opinions, or good analogies, out there?
