[comp.lang.icon] icont

I am new to icon and new to this newsgroup. I have the following 2 problems
with respect to using icon on a Sun 3/60 for anyone willing to direct or
correct me:  

  1. Under v7, the following syntax works:

              icont fn1 ./mylib/fn2.u1 

     Under v8, I get:

            icont: cannot resolve reference to file 'fn2.u1'

  2. Under v7, the following syntax fails:

             icont /abc/def/myprog

     with:

             Can't resolve reference to file '/arc/fame/icon/myprog.u1'

    when I am not in the directory /abc/def.

    Under v8, the preceding works, but the following fails:

             icont /abc/def/myprog /abc/def/mysub.u1

    with:

             icont: cannot resolve reference to file 'mysub.u1'

This is a known bug in V8. The work around is to include the "mylib"
directory in the search path specified with the IPATH environment
variable.
