Summary: StringIndexOutOfBoundsException running nicec

Initial Comment:
I just read the Nice user's manual, and tried to
compile the "Coin" enumeration example.

Nice compiler version 0.9.9 (build 2004.09.22, 00:40:25
UTC)
Compiled using JDK 1.4.2_04

I created an empty directory, and created Coin.nice
(attached).

Then I ran cd'ed into this directory and ran "nicec ."

The OS is Windows XP Home SP1, and I tried two versions
of the JDK:
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build
1.4.2_05-b04)
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build
1.5.0-rc-b63)

Ok, running nicec on the parent directory works ok. I had
read compilation.html, but I assumed that (package ==
directory) so "." (this directory) meant "this package".
Do you need help fixing this bug? Nice seems like a great
language, I'd be glad to help where I can!

Nicec shouldn't crash on this but give an error message 
instead.

Nice doesn't work on individual source files but on packages.
So when you have created a directory with the sourcefiles 
don't cd into it. Run nicec as "nicec packagename" where the 
packagename must the same as the directory.
