Re: Error running vip

Yes! Its working. Thanks Alex. I hadn't realized my version was so old
because the version listed in the download page is 16.12.8. I'll check the
current verison list from now on.

This is because you have a too-old version of PicoLisp. The mechanics of
'symbols' and 'local' were changed on 06mar17.

Error running vip

[Bruno Franco]

Hi list,
I just downloaded the latest version of vip (06may17), but when I try to
run it, it returns an error and enters the picolisp cli:
 ~> vip
[/home/bruno/bin/vip:5] !? (*CmdWin *Flat *Chr *Complete *Repeat *Change
*Count *Cnt *Search *Clip)
*CmdWin -- Undefined
? ⏎

Looking at the source, this is the line that is referenced by the error:

(local) [*CmdWin *Flat *Chr *Complete *Repeat *Change *Count *Cnt *Search
*Clip]

My guess is that it is interpreting *CmdWin as a function, since it is the
first element of a list.

I would appreciate any guidance to getting vip to run.
