I realize this is pretty unhelpful, so I have committed a change that
improves error reporting when parsing an expression. If the file
/tmp/x is as follows:
FSET betime(b, e) "AT " \
+ b \
+ " DURATION " \
(e-b)
then running Remind on this file will henceforth yield:
$ ./remind /tmp/x
"AT " + b + " DURATION " (e-b)
^-- here
/tmp/x(1:4): Expecting end-of-expression
No reminders.
which I think is a lot more helpful in pinpointing the problem.
Regards,
Dianne.
