[comp.sys.mac.programmer] MacApp + THINK Pascal Gotcha!

boerned@mist.CS.ORST.EDU (Dan Boerner) (08/26/90)

Just a quick note to other users of MacApp under the THINK
pascal environment.

Note:	Never try to run the .Build. project under the environment.
	This project is just for building standalone applications.
	
(p.284, THINK Pascal 3.0 Object-Oriented Programming Manual)

Now I'm sure I read this once, but went on to blithely ignore it
and paid the price.  Ya see the .Build Seed projects have their
qBusyCursor compiler flag set inappropriately for debugging inside
the THINK Pascal environment.  So our research team was experiencing
a lot of crashes.  It's actually suprising how much work we've
finished in the past month even though we were crashing every hour
or so.  A testament to MacApp and Symantec I guess.  

Now that we are using the correct Seed Projects my life is much
easier.

(P.S.	Hey Rich, maybe you could change the fontsize used for
Notes to say 72pt, or print them in a blinking font, or ... :-)
