Known Bugs and Problems for Oz 2.0

1. The following platform specific bug on HPUX has been fixed:
   

   Dear Oz'ers,
   I tried to browse the line
      {System.virtualStringToValue "a([1.0 3] "#'f:(a#(b(4 unit)#c#_)))'}  
   from chapter 6.4 of the Users Manual with Oz-2.0.4, running under
   HP-UX-9.0 and I got the error message:
   
    %************ parse error **********
    %**
    %**     expecting `LDOTS' or `')''
    %**     in line 1, column 20
    %**
    *** ********************************************************
    *** Error: System
    *** 
    *** illegal argument to System.virtualStringToValue
    *** Virtual String: a([1.0 3] f:(a#(b(4 unit)#c#_)))
    *** 
    *** CallStack: 
    *** procedure SystemVirtualStringToValue ( File: ././System.oz Line:
   108 PC: 1075646168 )
    *** procedure Toplevel abstraction ( Line: 0 PC: 1075431208 )
    *** --------------------------------------------------------
   
   However, doing the same with Oz-2.0.4 under Windows95 works fine.
   Does System.virtualStringToValue need special access to Operating 
   System  functionality, e.g. for creating temporary files?
   Any Idea ?
   

2. The documentation for Search.object was inconsistent. The method close does not exist, the right method to use is clear (documentation has been fixed).

3. If the FTP server ftp.ps.uni-saarland.de does not work, the system files of the Oz distribution can be also downloaded with the HTTP protocol from http://www.ps.uni-saarland.de/oz2/system/dist/.

4. Emacs 20 requires a patch, which is also included in the lastest distribution.
