Well, I love MWC and I'm thankful for CSD, but I hate MSH so I use Gulam --
in fact I really like Gulam (even though I seem to bomb it when in emacs
from time to time).
Anyway, I've got a problem, csd won't load completely when executed from
gulam! I get the copyright message, the it says "Reading tables...",
and then it reads some source files ("Adding source: <filename>.c").
Then when it tries "Loading <pgm>.ttp" I get:
exit status -33
Fatal error: execute failed: {NULL}
-33 = File not found.
however, if I exit Gulam and run msh, it works! Now I don't want to
keep bouncing back and forth between Gulam and msh and I won't do my
development in msh! Does anybody know how to fix this?
I'm running the latest version of Gulam, the one that was built around
May 21 of last year (version number is something like 1.02.03.04 or
something crazy like that).
Any clues?

My first guess was that the path I defined for Gulam was missing a necessary directory, but a cursory look did not turn up anything obvious. I haven't been able to look further. As for the "ue" editor in Gulam, I've had some problems with it too, though I like it better overall than the "me" that came with MWC. But, I haven't been able to get the iterative edit/compile cycle to work with "ue", so I'm resigned to calling "me" from Gulam. One further comment. Because I'm too cheap to buy a hard disk, I load MWC completely into RAM (I have a Mega-2), using the ramdisks provided in the 'rdy' utility which are supposed to survive warm-boot. I have found that CSD operation is very iffy in this configuration; it often crashes and sometimes takes the ramdisks with it (e.g. the ramdisks do not survive the necessary warm-boot). Even when it doesn't crash, CSD sometimes has problems finding things. CSD's reliability is inversely proportional to the severity of the problem I am trying track down, part of the perversity of software development, I guess, but CSD has proven to be worse than useless on all the occcasions that I really needed it! %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % Andy Cassino % % uucp: hplabs!hplsla!andyc domain: andyc%hplsla@hplabs.hp.com % % Hewlett-Packard Lake Stevens Instrument Division % % 8600 Soper Hill Road Everett, WA 98205-1298 % % (206) 335-2211 % %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
