Just tried the publish addon and ran into problems.

First problem: Saw the demo subdirectory and it looked like a good starting
place. Loaded master.ijs and ran into an unknown name "publishload".

  load 'c:\program files\j\j601\addons\format\publish\demo\master.ijs'
|value error: publishload
|       publishload'table.ijs'
|[-7] c:\program files\j\j601\addons\format\publish\demo\master.ijs
From the comments it looked like it should have loaded the script "table.ijs"
so I tried it. Well, it didn't do anything noticeable and gave no clue on
what to do to run the demo.

It seems to me that a demo program should do whatever is necessary to run a
complete demo or at least include instructions on how to run it. I should
not have to go Wiki to find out how to run the demo.

Tried the plot.ijs in publisn\demo and got

  load 'c:\program files\j\j601\addons\format\publish\demo\plot.ijs'
|value error: pd
|       pd SBARSTYLE

Looks like it needs a "require 'plot'".

Tried to look at the scripts in the demo directory with notepad and the text
was all run together. There are only LF characters separating the lines. J
handles it just fine but that is not the Windows convention of CR,LF for
line separators. publish.ijs and manafest.ijs use CR,LF for line separators
which is correct.

I went to Wiki and looked at Publish and it really looks impressive. Maybe
just a little cleanup of the demo.
