[comp.sys.apple] TML Pascal and GS/OS

tribby@hpindda.HP.COM (David Tribby) (10/07/88)

Has anyone else noticed a problem running the TML Pascal compiler (APW
version) under GS/OS?

I can compile the first time with no problem, but the second time the
compiler will usually crash (monitor comes up showing a BRK or COP
instruction at an address in bank 0).

The first few times I saw this, I thought it might have been the program I
was debugging. But last night I took a simple program and compiled it twice.
(I didn't run any other utilities between the compiles.) The compiler
crashed the second time. I found that the compiler wouldn't crash if I ran
a S16-type program between the compiles. Perhaps it has something to do
with APW holding the compiler in memory after it is run the first time.

I've got 1 meg of expansion memory, 96K of which I use as a RAM disk. I
also have a Sider hard disk in slot 7 that I boot off of.

Do any other TML Pascal users have good/bad GS/OS experiences to share?
