The bug that Jonathan found, concerning large signs at the end of 
strings has been fixed and the fix committed. The other bug, concerning 
large signs followed by a punctuation mark, is more difficult to fix. 
The obvious remedy would cause a string like "and, for" to be translated 
as "&1=" which is not correct. A better fix may appear in the future. 
However, as Jonathan mentioned, situations in which this bug would cause 
a mistranslation are probably very rare.

I have also fixed several bugs associated with the swap opcodes and will 
probably be fixing more in the near future. These opcodes are needed in 
the implementation of UK Maths and similar math codes. These codes are 
much more difficult to implement than Nemeth. I'm working on UK Maths 
and hope to have something in a few weeks.
