syntax/bug blues

[fowler]

This works:

thing.inst:

{ INST 
transforms {LIST {: T2} 
	{TLIST 
	1 0 0 0
	0 1 0 0
	0 0 1 0
	3 0 0 1
	}
}
geom < cube.off 
}

(geometry thing < thing.inst)
(read geometry { define T2 { TLIST 
1 0 0 0
0 1 0 0
0 0 1 0
3 0 0 1
})

This does not:

{ INST 
transforms {TLIST {: T3} 

	1 0 0 0
	0 1 0 0
	0 0 1 0
	3 0 0 1

}
geom < cube.off 
}
 
Error message is:

Error <1>: InstStreamIn: couldn't read TLIST object in INST at: 'T' in /u/fowler/geomview/data/use.inst
File: inststream.c, Line: 104

Seems like :T3 should act just like 16 numbers, but it doesn't :(
Stuart: is this a syntax error or a bug? (Tamara suspects bug.)
(Celeste suspects the butler.)
