PROWL compiler for Linux

The PROWL compiler for Linux has shown various strange errors. They are strange because they don't show in Windows, and it has been compiled from the same sources.

The strangest of all of them is that two instructions (messages) as simple as the following ones make the compiler (oddly) complain:


System.console.writeLn( "Hola" );
System.console.lf();


They'll have to be substituted with similar instructions, in which the return value must be stored.


reference retVal;
// ...
retVal = System.console.writeLn( "Hola" );
retVal = System.console.lf();


While it is true that this compilers (prowl and J--) have been excelent for showing Zero's capabilities, they have turned out to be not very stable, thus making the need to replace them in the medium-term.
