I'm having a problem with Think Pascal that is wasting a lot of my time. Every so often when I select "Go" from the "Run" menu instead of my program executing, an alert with 3 lines of garbage text gets displayed. After hitting the OK button, a "Think Pascal has unexpectedly quit" alert appears. I have no idea what's going wrong. I don't think my programs are the cause. Has anyone had similar problems or is it just me? I'm using a IIsi with 5 megs of ram. System 6.0.7. It's happened under Finder and Multifinder.

Three things come to mind: 1) You might need version 3.01 of Think Pascal. I think there is an updater progran on sumex. 2) Your Project could be trashed. Select remove objects from the project menu (I think) and rebuild the project. You might want to re-install Think Pascal. 3) Your program is trashing random areas of memory. Try turning on heap scramble in Macsbug and see if you drop into macsbug. Also sometimes after you throughly trash you mac environment your system file doesn't survive. You might want to reinstall that also. Just to be safe you should look over your program(s) (you didn't indicate whether this happens with just one project) again. -- ___________________________________________________________ Matthew Mora | my Mac Matt_Mora@QM.SRI.COM SRI International | my SUN mxmora@unix.sri.com ___________________________________________________________
