When I received the Golden Master system 7 CD-ROM, I happily copied
the MPW Pascal interface files from it - the docs said it contained
the new 7.0 info and stuff, which was what I've been waiting for.
My sources have stopped compiling however, and pascal aborts with
a -108 error (which is a 'not enough room in heap zone' or some such).
I found it very strange that changing interface files made pascal
ask for that much memory - and even a non-multifinder, init-clean
4 Mb LC was not enough, so I guess there's something else going on.
I was able to find out that the {$IFC ...} clauses that precede
every *.p file was part of the cause, since they somehow influenced
from which files symbol tables were read from resource. I also
found out that compiling the same file (like this: program test;
uses types; begin writeline('blah!'); end.) did not always get the
same behaviour with respect to loading these symbol tables. I never
bothered to look at this before, so I am quite out of my depth here.
Can somebody tell me what is going on? Or give me a manual reference?
Do I have to go back to older interface files?
Thanks in advance,

I solved this by stepping back to the MPW shell on the previous developer release (b4) I have had no problems since, and have not massaged interface files at all. If you get a good answer, I hope you will include me. . -- Terry Monks Automata Design Inc (703) 472-9400

Josh, thanks for the tip. My mail to your account bounced, so I am posting my questions. I looked in my release notes for MPW Object Pascal 3.1 and did not find a reference to HEXA resources. The Pascal tool I have has 14 HEXA resources. Which of these do I change? Thanks in advance for the help.
