Title: Documentation improvements
Post by: xificurC on July 11, 2017, 12:14:19 AM

There are some minor inconsistencies in the docs, namely:

the Cilk API part here http://www.newlisp.org/downloads/newlisp_manual.html#cilk says the commands are available on windows, whereas each function (spawn, sync and abort) state "The function {func} is not available on Windows". So which one is true? :)

the first example here http://www.newlisp.org/CodePatterns.html#toc-15 has some weird output shown.

Code Select Expand
(exec "ls *.c") → ("." ".." "util.c" "example.ls")

[/list]

I would fix the docs myself if I knew where to do it and if it's publicly editable, or open to PRs/patches.

One more off topic question - is there a place newlispers hang out? The IRC channel seems pretty empty and I can't find anything else.
