List Commands Library for 50g

[DavidM]

Release Candidate 1 Posted

Testing for the ListExt library has gone well, and I've now been able to test all functions in a variety of settings on several different platforms. Specifically, the following emulated systems:

- 49G
- 48gii
- 49g+
- 50g

...and the following real hardware:

- 49g+
- 50g

In each case, the library was tested from all applicable ports and both in exact and approximate modes for all commands.

Several issues were discovered during testing (see the release notes for details). All were fixed in the "RC1" release attached to the first post in this thread. The command description documentation was also updated to reflect the current status of all commands.

I believe the library is now in a final state and "ready for prime time". In order to make it easier to test every command, I've included a special TESTALL command for this release on the second page of the main menu (you'll see it in the middle showing as "TESTA"). It would be wonderful if some of you would run that command on your systems and let me know the results. TESTALL checks each command in a variety of ways, including standard uses, edge cases, and any designated error traps. Verbose results are saved in a string stored in your HOME directory named "LETestResults". TESTALL by itself is larger than the combined code for the rest of the library, so it will of course be removed for the final release.

I'd be most grateful if someone who has access to a real 49G and/or 48gii could run TESTALL on those systems. While it runs successfully on emulated versions of them, I'd still like to hear from anyone that can verify it on real hardware. For a general frame of reference, TESTALL completes on my 50g (port0/approximate mode) in about 74 seconds. When run from port 1 in exact mode, it takes about 95 seconds.
