Steve -- I've made some progress in fixing the Jako compiler. Modules don't work yet, but the first few examples compile and run.
My email was mainly to point out that the $PARROT/examples/ mentioned (not part of Jako) are b0rken. I've got my hands full trying to improve Jako, so I threw to the list in case someone has the tuits to fix the examples. I really don't think we should ship with broken examples. They should be fixed or removed if it isn't worth it... Regards, -- Gregor On Thu, 2003-09-18 at 21:04, Steve Fink wrote: > On Sep-18, Gregor N.
