First off, get 2.05M, it's got some new features and bug fixes and much better docs. Second, 2.05M won't compile with 3.40, basically because the Shell has some workarounds for bugs and lack of features in the 3.20 Aztec compiler which break under 3.40. I've corresponded with Steve Drew a bit, and have given him some fixes; I'm sure he'll post a new working version as soon as its ready. Meanwhile, compile with 3.20--you don't gain all that much with 3.40. You should have the patch I posted for making the 3.20 fexec() function work with 1.2 if you want to use the Shell with 1.2.
