9: Bugs

Please report `gre' bugs to the author, Dan Kelley <Dan.Kelley@Dal.CA>.

Known bugs include the following. The name of the bug is taken from the date, in year/month/day format, followed by a digit (0, 1, 2, ...) indicating sequence number, in case more than one bug was found on that day. (I'm presuming that no day has more than 10 bugs!!)

199905010 (1999-May-1) line numbers for errors are sometimes wrong.
199907040 (1999-July-4) `print variables' is inaccurate if `my' variables are used.
199907031 (1999-July-3) Sometimes -- but not always -- the message `sh:: command not found' is printed by `gre'. This appears to have no bad effects. The author has learned, by trial and error, that it occurs when trying to run a commandfile with implied suffix, instead of naming the commandfile in full.
199907030 (1999-July-3): `print variables' is confused about scope-resolution for `my' variables. This may indicate a deeper bug.
