Recently, there have have been several messages describing some more problems with TurboDos... I would like to describe another problem: A friend of mine [without net access] recently bought Metacomco Pascal-2. This uses the same [GST] linker as does Metacomco Lattice C 3.04.01, a product which I have bought. Well, when any Pascal program [even one as simple as "hello world"] is compiled on an SH204 with TurboDos running, the linker reckons that the .bin file produced by the compiler is not a valid linker format file.. After much experimentation, we found that rebooting without TurboDos and recompiling fixed the problem... this is irritating, however, to say the least... does anyone know why this should happen? All I could think of was that Pascal-2 doesn't close the .bin file down properly?? [Whereas Lattice C does, presumably?] Can anyone explain what's happening here? I will happily summarise any replies I get... Thanks..
