The SPITBOL project is pleased to announce that Unix SPITBOL 13.05 is now available.
It can be downloaded from http://spitbol.googlecode.com/files/spitbol-13.05.tar.gz.
This release includes versions of SPITBOL for both ASCII (8-bit characters) and Unicode (32-bit characters).
The Unicode version of SPITBOL (uspitbol) uses 32-bit characters internally. Character strings are converted from UTF-8 encoding to 32-bit characters when input from the command line, the operating system environment, a pipe, or a file opened in line mode. Character strings are converted from 32-bit characters to 8-bit characters in UTF-8 format when written to a file opened in line mode, a pipe, or when passed as an argument to an operating system procedure.
Program source files, which are read by SPITBOL in line mode, may thus contain UTF-8 format Unicode characters in strings and comments. Identifiers are still restricted to ASCII.
