I have been trying to write an exec.device, and have hit the stops on the assembler. I have the MetaCompost assembler, v 10.178. When I try and compile the C-A sample exec.device, from the WB1.1 RKM Appendix F, the assembler complains about running out of workspace. HOW DO I INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF WORKSPACE? The "AmigaDOG developer's manual" is less than helpful with regard to operation of the assembler. There is one command option which the assembler reports in the .key string which is not documented in my assembler docs: 'E' What does the -e flag do on the command line? Also, in a related vein... is there a problem posting the corrected code for the sample lib and device provided in the WB1.1 RKM? I got the code for the examples off of Amicus disk #4, so I should be able to redistribute it. I just wanted to ask beforehand, to see if it is a real stupid thing to do. Thanks, -ethan -- Ethan R.

In answer to your query: The "-E" command line option, allows equates symbols to be extracted from a source file and used to build a "header" file.. As for your running out of space, I believe that the thing that you are looking for with the out-of-memory problem is a command line option that may or may not be implemented in your version of assembler.. I've got the Metacomco assembler version 11.00 and it has been taken out of my versi (oops!) version.. You might try it on your version - the command line option to try is "-c W50000" or any number.. I think it is the stack size or something like that.. =============================================================================== I Thought So...
