Hello All,
As I have tried to reproduce bugs in our TeX system, I have discovered on
the 'Net two different files that both identify themselves as weave.web
Version 4.4. I realize that any desired customization may be accomplished
with weave.ch, but I am surprised to find two versions of the
Knuth-developed file. The current CTAN version shows lines 4811-4812 as:
loop at + begin print_nl('#'); update_terminal; {prompt}
read(term_in,ddt); {read a debug-command code}
Yet, other versions on the 'Net show lines 4811-4812 as:
loop at + begin write(term_out,'#'); update_terminal; {prompt}
read(term_in,ddt); {read a list of integers}
Does anyone know how this happened? Did Knuth make a fix and keep the
Version at 4.4? If Knuth made such a fix, do you know when he did so?
Thanks,
Brian
