Glad to be of service :-)
Helmar: it's usual to use 'u.' to unsignedly print (decimal).
In my latest Reva (not on the site) I have the <# # #S #> words working for
qword output, although the sign stuff is not working yet correctly I think.
I am considering modifying the '(.)' primitive so it pays attention to a
'width' parameter. So doing something like:
2 #. ! | set output width
3 .
would output 03 instead of 3.
However, now I have the # word working, it's trivial to do that with <# # # #>
( as long as you have a DOUBLE on the stack. So maybe I won't modify '.' at
all...
But for example, 'dump' should output "normal" hex, e.g. two-character codes
rather than the one character it does now.
