From: kato.PA@XEROX.ARPA Why me?? Actually there are two bugs here, both involving the same (alleged) feature: Going to the Editor straight from the Pascal compiler. The "hasty" 2.0 compiler (V1.143 9-Mar-84) just gives this message then quits but doesn't affect anything else: PCSetRunCmd(-#Boot-Editor) The MacSupplement compiler (V1.153 22-Mar-84) gives this message then quits: PCSetRunCmd(E) When you try to use Gen (V2.57 22-Mar-84) with the Supplement Pascal, the last error message you got when trying the E option is stuck in the command input buffer and tries to use that message as the input file name. If you're using a command (oops EXEC) file to run your compile/gen/link commands, it stops using the command file. This happens even after a succesful compilation. Either way, the E option just don't work! I haven't been able to find the document called "Putting Together a Mac Application". Is it using an alias? This seems like a pretty important document. BTW, I received my Supplement just yesterday. I'm also typing in some of the utilities from Kernighan and Plaugher's "Software Tools in Pascal". Hints: 1) Use the UCSD primitives 2) When typing in the utilities, use xstring instead of string. I've already got the sort utility running and am now typing in the macro processor. Kato.pa@Xerox.ARPA
