I am posting this for a friend who is having trouble getting the PDC compiler working on his amiga. The set-up he has is an amiga 500 with external 5.25' disk drive, with 1 Meg RAM. The problem is that he can't get the startup-sequence to work for the compiler. He does it the wa the have it set up, but it then asks for him to insert the ENV volume into the drive. This is because of the environment variables that it tries to set up, but everyy thing that he has tried has not succeeded as yet. Could some one who has this or knows of this program and how it works please send their startup-sequence or a message explaining how to set one up so that it works. Thanks a lot, Jonathan

You need to add the lines makedir RAM:ENV assign ENV: RAM:ENV to your startup-sequence. -Paul Petersen -- University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign Center for Supercomputing Research and Development UUCP: {uunet,convex}!uiucuxc!uicsrd!petersen INTERNET: petersen@uicsrd.csrd.uiuc.edu
