Tgen, linear algebra, and regular expression package available

I've put Dolphin 4.03 versions of the Tgen translator generator, my own
linear algebra package, and Vassili Bykov's regular expression code up on my
website at

        http://www.nls.net/mp/jarvis/Bob/DolphinGoodies.htm

There's just one one caveat...

The regular expression package does *not* work properly at the moment.  I'm
not really sure of what the cause is, but a bunch of the unit tests break.
If you're interested in fixing this, download a copy and please forward all
fixes to me ([hidden email]).  Otherwise I'll get it fixed as/when I can.

Share and enjoy...

Ask and ye shall receive...

Chris Uppal was kind enough to send me a copy of the regular
expression port he'd done a while back, which I've now posted on my
website (http://www.nls.net/mp/jarvis/Bob/DolphinGoodies.htm).  His
version has several advantages over the one I'd started, chief of
which is that it works.

Share and enjoy.

I just today posted my Spoken Number Formatter package.  Feed it something like

     12345 asSpoken

and you get back

     'twelve thousand, three hundred forty-five'

Share and enjoy.

And here's yet another one.  A day or two back David N. Smith posted a
change set to the Squeak list for generating pi to an arbitrary number
of significant digits.  I thought it was interesting so I ported this
to Dolphin, obtained David's permission to post it, and have now made
it available on my web site
(http://www.nls.net/mp/jarvis/Bob/DolphinGoodies.htm).  Share and
enjoy...

Amused as I am by anything to do with Pi (having decided to learn it by
heart up to 54 places as a schoolboy .. can anyone beat this?) I thought I'd
try out your port. However, the ZIP only contains a PAX file without the
associated CLS files. You can either add these ancillary files or it might
be easiest just to publish the PAC file itself which will have all the
source within it.

In the meantime I'm waiting patiently, wondering whether I can announce the
value of Pi (to 54 decimal places) faster than Dolphin can calculate it :-)

Sorry for the slow reply - I was on vacation for a couple of weeks and only
today got 'round to checking this group.

Ummmm...oops.  :-}  I'll get this fixed soonest (but no sooner than Monday,
I fear).

Not unless you're a *real* fast talker.  As it happens I was running some
benchmarks on this today (it was a slow day :-), and calculating it to 54
digits should take somewhere around a millisecond or two on a reasonably
quick machine.  (And if you can talk *that* fast you're in the wrong line of
work. Think "used cars"... :-).

OK, it's fixed now.  Go to

and fetch PiCalculator.zip.
