VBRANDT@DBNUAMA1.BITNET (09/26/89)
Hello all,
I'm sorry to report that I've made a mistake while compiling the BSS-BIT
utility I posted about two hours ago. The program works on Megas, but *not*
on 1 MB machines. Please don't waste time downloading it. There will be a
new version (0.2) ASAP.
For the curious: I wrote the program in CCD/ICD Pascal/ST+, V2.07. While
all good compilers for the ST supply a linker option to set the amount of run-
time memory for stack/heap/etc, that $#!++& Pascal uses a Compiler option for
the same purpose. Well, I forgot to set it, and the default is "grab all you
can". I never noticed, because I have 4 MB to play around with, but on 1 MB
machines the new 1.4 file selector can't malloc enough memory to function.
At least, this is an opportunity to see one of the less-than-common TOS error
alerts (the German one even has a spelling error :-).
Meanwhile, translators for the program messages are solicited.
Again, sorry for the trouble, it's all my fault. Blame me.
