Let´s suppose that after we had defined the 128 large variables named z1..z128 (as I suggested in my previous post) the program start the real pr...

I devised an idea that may solve, at least in part, the performance problems of SET command caused by a very large environment. Let's suppose that the internal operation of SET VAR=VALUE command follow these steps: ⋅ When a new variable is defined with a value that exceed the current envir...
