scala commands

Hello Martin.

Probably when we moved to SuperSabbus, in April or May 2008.

For no good reason. It is arguably a bug in SuperSabbus.

There should be a set of Scala commands both in quick/bin and in pack/
bin.

- Those in quick/bin use the Scala library and compiler in quick/lib
(in the form of loose class files)
- Those in quick/pack use the Scala in pack/lib (the same loose
class files in quick/lib, but packaged as JAR files)

If you compiled files to quick/lib yourself, you can JAR them up in
pack/lib by calling "ant build".

The Scala commands in quick/pack should execute faster; loading
classes from JARs is easier.

in that form as it contains incorrect statements.

Actually, SuperSabbus builds Scala commands to quick/bin. I don't know
why you don't have them, Martin.

There is, as there should be, a set of Scala commands both in quick/
bin and in pack/bin.

Cheers,
Gilles.

I thinkI found it. It seems that both quick bin and pack bin are built
for the pack target, not the quick target.
What happened was that I could do an ant build up to the quick target,
but then it failed, because I did not have scalap checked out. That
seems to have been the cause. Sorry for the confusion.
