I don't have the guts to run known malware on my computer.
You have already sabotaged VFX to crash when it detected code
from my novice-package, although the code is ANS-Forth compliant.
What is the next level of your VFX sabotage? Erase my hard-disk?

Why don't you just tell me. Did you "invent" (steal) the rquotations
for this version of VFX or do you still have the worthless Paysan-faked
quotations that you had in the previous version? With the Paysan-faked
quotations in VFX you look like an idiot, but with the rquotations you
look like an intellectual-property thief. Which do you prefer?

Also, define the word "sin" so that all of your potential customers can know
if you consider them to be sinners or not, and if your sabotage of VFX
will be aimed at them or not.
I wrote an MSP430 assembler --- in the Middle Ages I would have been
burned at the stake for that! --- now you sabotage VFX to stop me.

Giordano Bruno and Joan of Arc would have had the guts to run VFX on
their computer.

What a heap of BULLSHIT .
You are just talking.

It would be simple and no risk - probably too simple for you ,
to ask around who has a PC in the corner, not used ,
to prove it either way.
But this is too risky for you.
Then you would not have anything to complain about anymore.

PROVE IT OR SHUT UP.

Or you could buy a cheap laptop for £100 and prove it.

You now admit that you can run VFX on your computer, and you "know"
that VFX can detect your code. I really cannot be bothered with the
novice package when people with apps of 155,000 and 1.2M SLOC
are pleasant and easy to deal with.

Are you lazy or stupid? The assumption of either/or could be
considered both. We have all dealt with this since childhood, so
a third choice could be childish. This fallacious argument is an
example of a false dichotomy.

https://www.ucm.es/data/cont/docs/107-2016-02-17-Fallacious%20Arguments.pdf
Excluded Middle (False Dichotomy, Faulty Dilemma, Bifurcation):
assuming there are only two alternatives when in fact there are more. For
example,
assuming Atheism is the only alternative to Fundamentalism, or being a traitor
is
the only alternative to being a loud patriot.

You and I could trade insults for ever, but I choose only to permit
myself an annual round, and I usually regret the waste of time
afterwards.

VFX has the same quotations as described in the Forth standard.

> Also, define the word "sin" so that all of your potential customers can know

> will be aimed at them or not.

Once upon a when, VFX re-ran source code to improve performance.
When it was proven that this technique cannot produce compliant
code, we replaced the source inliner with the tokeniser. Your question
as to the meaning of "sin" is answered in the first paragraph
of the manual section about the tokeniser. This documentation
has been available to you for many, many years, probably since 2009.

\ *P From VFX Forth v4.3, build 2825, the tokeniser replaces the
\ ** previous source inliner. The change was made to improve ANS
\ ** and Forth200x standards compliance, and to reduce issues
\ ** with particularly "guru" code. To prevent breaking your
\ ** existing code, the tokeniser uses the same word names for
\ ** its control words. The abbreviation "sin" is short for "source
\ ** inline".

Forth-200x committee know how to implement such a thing.
Your employee Peter Knaggs, also a Forth-200x committee member,
failed to implement a linked-list --- that is pathetic incompetence!
Your failure to understand the concept of general-purpose data-structures
is why you accept the Paysan-faked quotations that are worthless.

This is bullshit!
My novice-package worked fine under VFX for many, many years,
since 2010. Then with this recent VFX version you specifically targeted
the disambiguifiers with sabotage of VFX, and the word to undo
the sabotage is doNotSin. LIT, and the disambiguifiers aren't "guru code"
(whatever that means). This is just the use of POSTPONE inside of a
colon definition.

You have been attacking the disambiguifiers with lies.
Now you claim that it is just a coincidence that VFX fails on the
disambiguifiers, and the word to fix this is: doNotSin

You are a liar!

You want people to be "pleasant" to you --- this means that you want
brown-nosers who accept your blatant lies without question --- you find it
quite unpleasant when your blatant lies are pointed out in public.

What a heap of BULLSHIT .
You are just talking.

It would be simple and no risk - probably too simple for you ,
to ask around who has a PC in the corner, not used ,
to prove it either way.
But this is too risky for you.
Then you would not have anything to complain about anymore.

PROVE IT OR SHUT UP.

Or you could buy a cheap laptop for £100 and prove it.
And sell it on ebay and make money after you could not prove it.
