Bob...
Have you found what the problem was re. DATA files in PBUNITS yet? The reason
for this message is another problem I'm having. This cropped-up before when I
was stymied by the DATA problem and I forgot to mention it. When I compile a
UNIT using the metastatement $COMPILE UNIT, then load and compile the main
program, Often I don't get the new unit code. The old code seems to be somehow
"locked" in memory. One time this became so frustrating that I had to turn off
the computer before I could get the new UNIT code included. Am I going bonkers
or what!

You certainly found something with data in units. Actually, the problem is
that RESTORE label/linenum is not reliable in a unit. We have determined the
cause, and it will definitely be corrected in the next update. Sorry it caused
you a problem. I'm affraid that for now, you'll need to just avoid using
RESTORE in a unit.
As to your second question, PB ALWAYS reads units from disk during a
compilation. Units are never buffered in memory, temporary files, etc. If I
understand you correctly, you're saying it appears that the main file is
re-compiled, but using a previous version of the unit? The only way I can
imagine that happening is if you have two copies of the .PBU file in different
directories. Perhaps your configured unit directory contained a path pointing
to a second copy? I can't imagine any other circumstances which could cause
it, unless there are other symptoms that might apply? Is this possible?

HMMMMMM...
-That's possible. I did point to a directory just for units. I probably got
tangled-up in my underware that late at night.

I guess we'll just presume that's what happened, George. But if any aother
"weird" symptoms show up, please let us know right away. We know that any
program with the size and complexity of PB is bound to have some "bugs", but
we're VERY determined to correct them in short order, when they are verified.
Thanks for your help and concerns! It's REALLY appreciated!
