[vwnc] Parcel loading with command line

Hi,

does anyone encounter a problem with the -cnf command line option  
since V7i.4 version (on Linux Fedora 7) ?
On previous version, $(VISUALWORKS) could be used in the configuration  
file. But now, it 's appears that we have to give explicitely the full  
path of the parcel.
An -psp command line option does'nt works ...

Regards

Vincent

It's impressive you're the first report of this that I've seen.

For the first problem, in Parcel class>>loadParcelByName:, there's an asFilename send which should probably be asLogicalFileSpecification.

For the second, the only issue that I see is that if you give it an invalid parcel path by providing something that's not a directory, it will helpfully try to put up a dialog for you, but it's running too early in system startup for that to happen and the whole image crashes. That can be fixed by removing the Dialog call in #parcelPath:, or just by giving it valid information. Is that the problem you were seeing, or something else?
