+
+ * Makefile: Added '/r:Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll' to the compile
+ command line.
+
+ * driver.cs (UnixParseOption, CSCParseOption): Added
+ '/optioncompare:[text|binary]' command line option.
+
+ * rootcontext.cs (StringComparisonMode): Added. Keeps track of the
+ '/optioncompare:' command line option.
+
+ * typemanager.cs (InitVisualBasicHelperTypes,
+ InitVisualBasicCodeHelpers): New routines that preload frequently
+ used types and helper methods available in
+ Microsoft.Visualbasic.dll.
+
+ (IsFixedNumericType, IsFloatingNumericType,IsNumericType): New
+ VB.NET specific helper routines. Added in anticipation of a future
+ use.
+
+ * ecore.cs (HelperMethodInvocation): Added. Implements the same
+ functionality as the earlier vaguely named class
+ 'ImplicitInvocation'. This class uses the 'type cache' of
+ Microsoft.VisualBasic helper methods now available in the
+ TypeManager.
+
+ * convert.cs (WideningConstantConversions): Reimplemented. The
+ earlier implementation was completely topsy-turvy. Propagated the
+ changes relating to the introduction of 'HelperMethodInvocation'.
+
+ * mb-parser.jay: Added rule and action for 'Like' expression.
+
+ * mb-tokenizer.cs (keywords): Cleaned up the extra space in the
+ 'let', 'lib' and 'like' entries.
