RE: [Caml-list] newbie question

Hie,

I have OCaml ver 3.02 for Windows and I have been playing with examples from 
Chapter 9 (Basic Input/Output) of the tutorial "Functional programming using 
Caml Light", 1995 from http://caml.inria.fr/distrib-caml-light-eng.htm.

In the interactive mode, when I type
# std_in;;

I get the error "unbound value std_in". I thought this channel along with 
std_out and std_err are supposed to be predefined. Consequently the standalone 
example count.ml in Chapter 11 (StandAlone Programs) also gives the error
"unbound value std_in" when I type the command

"ocamlc -o count.exe count.ml". What am I missing? Thanks...

Emmanuel

Hi,

In OCaml, these are called "stdin", "stdout", and "stderr".

Best regards,
