Bill,
Sooo, my confusion was caused by the fact that in file
J64-801/system/mail/stdlib.ijs on line 194 expand is defined:
expand=: # inverse
but, unfortunately, due to "cleanup" it isn't until line 225 that
inv is defined:
inv=: inverse=: ^:_1
I believe you need to be sure inverse is defined before expand. This is
an example of making things "readable" isn't as functional as just
defining them directly ... i.e. expand=: #^:_1 NB. would "fix the
problem" without reordering the lines.
Sometimes making things read better (or redundantly defined) causes
problems (thinking back to my complaints about my use of 9!:37 in my
profile being stomped on by boot) - HOWEVER, I want to thank you for
fixing that in util/boot.ijs so that my profile works OK in j8 - THANK YOU!

plot with " pd 'pdf' " results in

when using SUSE Linux 12.3.
eg.
load 'plot'
pd 1 2 3 4 5;1 4 9 16 25
pd 'pdf'
pd 'show'

|domain error: inverse

But trying to track down the problem, I get confused (not an unusual state
for me...)
expand
# inverse
inverse
^:_1
1 0 1 expand 'ac'
|domain error: inverse
| 1 0 1 expand'ac'
1 0 1 #^:_1 'ac'
a c
1 0 1 (#^:_1) 'ac'
a c
1 0 1 (# inverse) 'ac'
a c
1 0 1 # inverse 'ac'
a c
1 0 1 expand 'ac'
|domain error: inverse
| 1 0 1 expand'ac'
expand
# inverse
NB. sooo --- Replacing the line in afm.ijs with
ext=.msk #inverse (;len{.each 1)+/;.1 ext
iMi7:afm jkt$ j8
load 'plot'
plot i. 6
It works fine (except that I am confused ... ;-)

the plot domain error actually occurs inside afm. Can you help
investigate the problem by adding smoutout msk len ext just before
that line in afm.ijs or advise what will be the fix to it?
