I have left the path of TML Pascal! Their language and service are disgusting!
I have purchased ORCA Pascal, and I must say, I am happy! If you wish to buy
ORCA however, do not think that you will have to do a little re-writing. You
will have to do a-lot of rewriting. Because ORCA's constants and other
attributes are similar to the ones in Apple's ToolBox reference manual.
Whereas TML's uses whatever they felt like putting in there that day. The
ProDOS 16 Manipulations are also very different. And the major difference is
that ORCA's functions will only return pointers, integers, or subranges. No
strings! This is easy enough to work around though. Ah! Let us insert the
unholy TML Pascal diskettes into our microwaves.. Time 1:00, Power 100%
------------------====================================================>
Oh! One nice advantage of ORCA, Any routine written in TML, IE: Keypressed,
can be written in assembly and linked into the system.. Heh heh heh!

The dialog border would come up but no text (or anything for >>that matter) would come up in the box.... That sounds *exactly* like the problem I described earlier. Does your "About..." procedure make a SetDefButton call? Try removing it and see if the problem goes away! -- Dave Tribby - - - - - ARPA: tribby%hpda@hplabs.HP.COM UUCP: hplabs!hpda!tribby
