Greetings!

So, as a great adventurer that I am, I downloaded .129 and installed it.  When I
compiled my working code with .129, I find this new error:

Error: Stream is not seekable

what does this mean?  And where is the spot that I need to look at?  It would be
nice if there was some line included with the errors.  I know that Walter added
some new Stream libraries, so that's probably where the problem is.  Should old
programs work with new compilers?

thanks,

josé

example code, please. What was the last version of dmd that the code worked 
with? The 129 release shouldn't have impacted stream seeking.

Ben,

I use cygwin to rsync my code files to a Linux server.  Somehow, this AM, when I
did an rsync to get the data back from the linux server, I must have brought
some damaged libraries or something.  Don't ask me how.  However, after
compiling the code, I would still get the 

[some program output deleted]

Error: Stream is not seekable

and it was caused, supposedly, by this subroutine,

char[] ReadTextFileIntoVar(char[] fn)
{
File f = new File();
char[] l;
f.open(fn);
while(!f.eof())
{
l ~= f.readLine() ~ "\n";
}
f.close();
return l;
}

which, now, after I deleted all object files and libraries, but the source
files, and recompiled with .129, everything is back to normal.  My mistake.
Perhaps, some rsync bogus synchronization problem.  Sorry about that.
