[E-Lang] some E oddness.

[steve jenson]

I was developing under E tl-8.9.1 for Windows and have recently turned
that windows box into a Linux machine, and after installed tl-8.9.1b I noticed
a few problems with some E code I was writing under my Windows installation.


These are the first two lines of my code:

def awt__uriGetter := <unsafe:java.awt.*>
def swing__uriGetter := <unsafe:javax.swing.*>

And when I run the script, I get the following error:

# problem: <UndefinedVariableException: unsafe__uriGetter not in scope>
#          
#   <interp> evalPrint(e`define awt__uriGetter := unsafe__uriGetter get("java.awt.*")`)


Why did I never notice this before? Is this error always supposed to be
around? Perhaps I cross-contaminated by E installations on the Windows
box. Since that machine is no longer running the same OS I have no way
of going back to see what's up.


regards,
steve
