Re: [Jscheme-devel] src/jsint/Evaluator.java:85 cannot find Version class

[Ken A. <kan...@bb...>]

Somehow, i convinced myself that i could build JScheme without the Version.java.  I did not want it in CVS because it caused conflicts that caused the nightly build to fail.

I'll fix src/build/bootstrap.bat and change things so the version string is read as a resource.
