I ran into a "problem" with the ./lua4z-1.0.0.bin when I ran it a second time. The first time, it said it couldn't find the PDSEs (LOADLIB and SAMPLIB) and did I want to define them? All is good. I reply "Y" and they are allocated. When I ran the script a second time, it did the same. It did _not_ properly detect that the PDSEs existed. It tried to allocate them again, and I got error messages from that allocation. The script continued to run. All in all, I got what I needed, but it seems to point out a problem with the installation script. Oh, I entered the data set names in lower case, which might be the problem. The lua4z/examples/ivp.lua fails when I run it from my UNIX shell. ==== LIH1:TSH009:/HM/lua4z/examples$ lua ivp.lua Lua4z installation verification procedure (IVP) Checking LUA_PATH configuration: passed Checking LUA_CPATH configuration: failed Test results: 1 passed 1 failed LIH1:TSH009:/HM/lua4z/examples$ printenv | grep LUA_ LUA_PATH=/HM/lua4z/share/lua/5.1/?.lua;./?.lua;/HM/lua4z/share/lua/5.1/?/init.lua;/HM/lua4z/lua/5.1/?.lua;/HM/lua4z/install/?.lua LUA_CPATH=./?.so;/HM/lua4z/lib/lua/5.1/?.so LIH1:TSH009:/HM/lua4z/examples$ ==== I looked at the ivp.lua. It references a variable "modules" which contains "cjson" and "socket". There exists an cjson.so in the LUA_CPATH. But "socket" is a directory in /HM/lua4z/lib/lua/5.1, not an ".so" file. Granted, I need to read up on lua, but given the results, this seems like it may be a problem in the ivp.lua script. Minor nits, but thought I'd give you a heads up. -- The temperature of the aqueous content of an unremittingly ogled culinary vessel will not achieve 100 degrees on the Celsius scale.
