Is it possible ? > Louis, It sounds like you are doing all the right things to fix the problem you are having. I'd like to help you out, but you didn't really give a good description of what the problem was. "I keep crashing..." is all you say. By this, do you mean that you keep crashing into the debugger? Or do you just get error messages in MPW? If so, what error messages are you getting? If you are crashing into the debugger, have you tried removing the Debugger? Despite all the rave reviews about it, I have never been able to get Jasik's debugger to work for me, as I keep crashing into it. I also don't trust a debugger that needs to know about MPW by forcing you to run an InformDbgr tool first. At any rate, yes, on an 8 Meg Mac II, it is possible to build a MacApp application with debugging symbols. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keith Rollin --- Apple Computer, Inc. --- Developer Technical Support INTERNET: keith@apple.com UUCP: {decwrl, hoptoad, nsc, sun, amdahl}!apple!keith "Argue for your Apple, and sure enough, it's yours" - Keith Rollin, Contusions
