Is it a good idea to buy ORCA products right now, specifically ORCA/C? Or would it be better to wait until they have upgrades to support System 5.0? (I realize it would work with 5.0, but I'm talking about things like the Resource Manager, etc..) Also, will ORCA/C run with only one 3.5, 1.25 megs of memory? -- \ / C r o s s r o a d s C o m m u n i c a t i o n s /\ (602) 941-2005 300|1200 Baud 24 hrs/day / \ hplabs!hp-sdd!crash!xroads!cc

I do have a problem making the ORCA/C work with the GSOS V. Maybe I'm doing something wrong; I'm still sorta new at that program. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Kurt Miles | GreyMan ------> and the <----- DRAGON KMILES@USU (Bitnet) | ...... remember, sometimes the DRAGON wins!

I don't know what "GSOS V" is, but assuming you mean System Software 5.0 (GS/OS 3.0), Orca/C 1.0 works fine with my copy. Use "Compile to Disk" instead of "Compile to Memory", though; there is apparently a bug in the latter, due to be fixed soon in a free upgrade (or so I've heard). I find it generally more convenient to use a shell script or a makefile (if you have a "make" utility, such as 360 MicroSystems') for most compilation.

A heartfelt "Thank you" for the tip. >I find it generally more convenient to use a shell script or a makefile >(if you have a "make" utility, such as 360 MicroSystems') for most >compilation. I don't have a make utility, yet. Still working on getting "C" down. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Kurt Miles | GreyMan ------> and the <----- DRAGON KMILES@USU (Bitnet) | ...... remember, sometimes the DRAGON wins!
