Free42: Unlimited-length strings and other type extensions

[Guenter Schink]

Just a thought on ALPHA capabilities. Wouldn't it be nice to have a separate storage structure for strings? Addressable perhaps through pointers within ordinary memory. Exchangeable with the traditional ALPHA register. Recall store and exchange come to mind. Examples

ARCLI x
ARCLI IND 01

ASTOI x
ASTOI 00

AEXCI IND y

This would perhaps also accommodate databases to be build with the aid of matrices.
