the memory usage of gcc when it tries to compile the giant output C file.
This was a problem on ia64. (The ulimit method of preventing thrashing has
been removed, as this method works better; likewise, the optimiser

+20. The build system has been completely redone, again; it now uses automake
as well as a much newer version of autoconf. This means that there is now
one build system that works the same way on all systems, and that all
sorts of clever tricks like out-of-tree builds, a self-rebuilding build
still there, but now there's prebuilt instead of temp, an extra directory
buildaux, and bin, lib and include have disappeared.

+21. The distribution now comes in compressed pax format. (Before anyone
complains that they have no idea what that is, or that I'm using something
strange and nonstandard, I'd like to point out that tar is no longer part
of POSIX, but that pax is. (See man 5 tar on a recent Linux system for
so tar readers should be able to read it just fine, if you can't get your
hands on a pax reader.)

+22. convickt can now produce its output as INTERCAL initialisation of a tail
array. (This doesn't auto-offset between the different characters; it is
therefore mostly useful for producing Baudot arrays for CLC-INTERCAL-style
IO.)

alternative method of getting a high-resolution clock for profiling (it
is available on at least Linux).

time and at run time. (It was getting confused as to what mechanism it was
using, causing some really weird bugs.)

+25. Added support for computed CREATE (the computation is done at create-time,
rather than when the unknown statement is encountered); partly because
this was rather easy, but mostly because it can be used to simulate a
computed NEXT, thus making the example expansion library compunex (which I
features of NEXT, anyway, rather than the small subset COMPUNEX could
manage.)

much bigger memory leaks that could do with being fixed.

+27. Added support for CREATING operators, with similar syntax to the CREATION
of commands. This requires the -ea options to be set to work properly.

+28. More file extensions are now supported by the external calls system. The
.c99 extension indicates a C99 (rather than C89) file; all .c99 files are
preprocessed as C99, and if any C99 files are used the final compilation
which compiles and links everything will be done as C99 rather than C89
locations instead of the current directory.) Other .a files can be linked
in from the current directory.
-27. Fixed the handling of division by zero in the syslibc expansion library.

(The Revamped Manual states 'In all cases, division by 0 returns 0'.)

nasty typos (two of the worst were specifying variables as IGNORED by
default, and stating that select acts like OR in TriIntercal!).

a COME FROM in more than one file at a time whilst still having the
resulting program work reliably.

+32. Added support for external calls to Befunge-98 programs; however, this
distribution does not ship with a Funge-98 interpreter, so in order to use
this feature you will first have to compile a Funge-98 interpreter into a
library for use with C-INTERCAL (see README.txt or the Revamped Manual for
information on this). Also added a test program for this to the pit.
-31. Fixed some bugs in the go-away command in interfunge.i.
