# Silly bug in max and min

## John Cowan — 2001-07-08 07:01:58

    A misplaced brace in the implementation of max and min caused them not

    to do anything unless at least one argument was a float.  You can

    fix interp.c by moving one of the braces from line 654 to line 645,

    or download the revised tarball from the usual place:

    http://www.ccil.org/~cowan/joy.tar.gz .

    Thanks to Manfred for pointing out this bug.

    I have made some changes to the Joy page, in style and in content:

    C sources updated,

        with the "quick fix" for  true  and  false

            needed by one test file below

        bug for  max  and  min

            fixed as per John's instructions (thanks John)

    Several new Joy libraries which replace the old  usrlib  and stdlib

        usrlib  - (new) now has unix/vms specific stuff to customise

        inilib  - initial library for Joy system (John: uses "intern")

        agglib  - aggregates

        seqlib  - sequences

        numlib  - numericals

        matrlib  - matrices (Also, testfile and output for matrlib)

        demo output for help command with all libraries loaded

    Treat them as initial versions, probably to be revised.

    (John: I think they should not be included in the tarball yet.)

    I expect to add more soon, mostly from the old typlib

    but split into several files. There will be testfiles and output, too.
