I've installed SpiderMonkey in my OS(Ubuntu 16.04 x64). When I use it, I can use print() method correctly.But when I use putstr() method, I come across an error: putstr() is not defined.

How to solve the problem?  Thank you.

if you refer this page
  https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/SpiderMonkey/Shell_global_objects

the page contains obsolete information
I'll update it.

apparently putstr is still there.

Can you describe how you installed SpiderMonkey, and how you run it?

Install:
```
cd ProgramFiles
wget http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/js/js-1.7.0.tar.gz -O- | tar xvz
cd js/src
make -f Makefile.ref
mkdir -p /usr/include/smjs/ -v
cp *.{h,tbl} /usr/include/smjs/ -v
cd Linux_All_DBG.OBJ
cp *.h /usr/include/smjs/ -v
mkdir -p /usr/local/{bin,lib}/ -v
cp js /usr/local/bin/ -v
cp libjs.so /usr/local/lib/ -v
```
Usage:
Just change directroy to /usr/local/lib/ and type `js` to enter the jsShell. Then I type `print("OK")`, it works well. Then, I type `putstr("Are you OK ?")`, the shell gives me an error: `putstr is not defined`.

SpiderMonkey 1.7.0 is too old.
Current latest version of SpiderMonkey release is SpiderMonkey 45
  https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/SpiderMonkey/Releases/45
and I'm now updating the document for trunk (that is 53).

you could check what functions are available by executing "help()" in js shell, if help function exists at that point.

anyway, there's nothing we can do for 1.7.0.
I'd suggest using newer version if possible.

Thank you very much! I'll update my version now. Thank you.
