Use the following flag in your ASSEM line: -c W150000 If 150000 isn't enough (it may not if you are using 1.2 headers and are including intuition.i) then try 180000, etc. This is documented in the AmigaDOS User's Manual description of the ASSEM command, in section 2.2 "AmigaDOS Developer's Commands". -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Carolyn Scheppner -- CBM >>Amiga Technical Support<< UUCP ...{allegra,caip,ihnp4,seismo}!cbmvax!carolyn PHONE 215-431-9180 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

I may regret this (telling people about undocumented Metacompco assembler features, that I received as bug reports for my assembler not supporing them), but there is an undocumented flag in the Metacompco assembler that allows the user to expand his workspace (internal memory allocation), for larger assembles. (At least this is my understanding). Anyways the way to turn on this flag is with the -c Wnum flag. For example, the following line expands the workspace to 150,000 bytes of internal workspace, assembling foo.asm: assem -c W150000 foo.asm I hope this answers your question, Douglas Leavitt { sdcrdcf, seismo } !ism780c!dougl PS to rokicki@sushi.stanford.edu: I'm having problems getting a hold of you (my mailer problems) Do you have a plain uucp path? Re: GNU C compilers. PS to sdean@sol.UVic.cdn: I can't find any type of path to respond back to you, can you get me a better path back? sol.UVic.cdn isn't in my databases.

My assembler came with my developer's package when I got my Assuming the Metacomco assembler, to increase the workspace add something like "-c w75000" to the args. you call assem with. Here is a complete script file to assemble with: -----------------cut here .bra { ;Assemble then link with amiga.lib .key file .key } assem-devel:c/assem {file}.asm -c w95000 -i assem-devel:include -o {file}.o assem-devel:c/alink {file}.o lib assem-devel:lib/amiga.lib to {file} -----------------cut here If you are using BLINK, change the last line and add "NODEBUG" to get rid of those pesky extra hunks. Also rename "execute" to x and make it RESIDENT. Place this file in the "S" directory of your workbench and maybe even copy it into RAM: or VD0: with all your working files (wait.asm).

Look again at your Developer's manual on page 2-53, the section for ASSEM. The way I got WAIT.ASM to assemble was with a HUGE workspace of about 160k. You specify this by "OPT W160000" on the ASSEM command line. C-A, how come it takes this inordinate amount of "workspace" for one DINKY little file like WAIT.ASM??? -Rusty- -- ================================================================ Rusty Haddock +++ Texas Instruments, Inc. +++ Dallas, Texas Computer Science Center, CRD&E +++ CSNET: Haddock@TI-CSL USENET: {ut-sally!im4u,convex!smu,sun!texsun}!ti-csl!haddock

For example, the following line >expands the workspace to 150,000 bytes of internal workspace, assembling >foo.asm: > assem -c W150000 foo.asm This is actually rather clearly documented. See the either page 2-53 of CBM's "AmigaDOS User's Manual" or page 85 of the 1.1 Bantam AmigaDOS manual. (I don't know the page in the 1.2 AmigaDOS manual because someone "borrowed" mine). You will find the standard CLI format/template/purpose/spec/example documentation of the ASSEM command. It lists the -C (or "OPT") flag and W<size>, along with many other assembler flags and options. Warning though. Don't try the -H (always-include-this-header) flag. I understand it puts you in an endless loop. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Carolyn Scheppner -- CBM >>Amiga Technical Support<< UUCP ...{allegra,caip,ihnp4,seismo}!cbmvax!carolyn PHONE 215-431-9180 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
