ear on the screen, but most of the time you can figure out the error by looking at the file in the general area near where the compiler stopped. Unfortunately, the dump causes the last lines of the listing to scroll off the screen, so you have to be quick on the CTRL-S key to make sure you see which line was the last one to be compiled. It is possible to direct the listing to a file; however, in at least some crashes, the listing file does not get closed, so there will be nothing in the listing file. This means that you must put the listing to the screen or printer. If you send it to the screen, then you cannot leave the system to itself to compile, since you must be there to hit CTRL-S at the appropriate time. Sending it to the printer works ok, but tends to generate noise and paper. I am not aware of any run-time bugs (other than the multiply-by-zero error in version 2 that JRT provided a patch for). I have not, however, tried to write significant amounts of real (useful) code with it, which is probably the only way to find them. Is there anyone else on the net who has?
