Fnorb Problem

[Max M. Stalnaker]

Good news.  I worked some more with Fnorb and was able to duplicate your error
message, although in a context where I was not expecting the software to work.
My success so far has been in being too lost to do it correctly.  There is a
fnidl., a fnidl.bat, and a fnidl.py.  I succeeded in getting HelloWorld to work
by using fnidl.py directly.  You are probably trying to do it the right way using
fnidl.bat.  I copied fnidl.py to my examples directory and executed python
fnidl.py HelloWorld.idl.  As to whether the right way will work, I have not
gotten that far.  But I note that when *I* execute fnidl.bat, it asks me for a
IDL.  If I do not supply one, I get your error message.  Is it asking you for an
IDL?
