- Sherry, you didn't mention it but which machine (aka, which TOS) are you
- using? This sounds like a problem with TOS 2.05/2.06 in which the compiler
- doesn't like XCONTROL.ACC. There are two fixes:
-
- 1) Run the compiler _without_ XCONTROL.ACC loaded.
-
- 2) Change the RESERVE memory setting in the compiler source code and recompile.
- Start up your interpretor and load MENU.GFA (the compiler source code) find
- the RESERVE line near the beginning of the file and change it to some huge
- number (I use RESERVE 150000, I think). Then RUN the program in interpreted
- mode and use it to compile _itself_ saving the newly compiled file as
- MENU.PRG. Tricky, eh? For safety's sake, be sure you maintain a backup
- copy of the original MENU.GFA source, OK? ;-)
-
- Anyhow, either of these should resolve the compile problem judging from how
- you described it. If not, let us know...
-
- Cheers,
