Does anybody out there know what error -108 is when compiling pascal programs with MPW pascal? The error message says literally (if I remember right) 'Fatal memory error #-108' Thanks in advance Kurt. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Kurt M.

That's the "Apple set the MPW Shell partition size to 1024K when they really should have set it to 1500K or 2048K" error message. It is most prevalent in MPW 3.0. Things have been cleaned up a little in MPW 3.1 so that this should happen less (not happen as often?). But it still occurs on large builds. Set your MPW Shell partition size larger if it does. If all of this means nothing, because you are not using MultiFinder, then error -108 is the "You should have bought THINK Pascal, as there is not enough memory on this Macintosh" error. You really should have at least 2 meg., pref 4 (that's what the APDAlog sez). -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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

Actually, if you look through the Pascal release notes, you'll find that you can increase the number in a HEXA resource to give Pascal more working space without giving more space to MPW. I don't have them handy, or I'd even give you the number. -- Kevin A. Mitchell (312) 266-4485 Datalogics, Inc Internet: kam@dlogics.UUCP 441 W.

There is insufficient space in Pascal's heap to satisfy a memory request. Try closing all editor windows except the Worksheet before compiling Pascal programs. Then try running without MultiFinder, removing all INITs which might be using memory, etc. Do anything you can to increase the amount of memory available to Pascal. If none of this works, then you can try making your source files smaller and, finally, getting more RAM. Earle R. Horton
