RAM: is much faster than VD0: (6x faster, in fact)... > -Matt I recently got a 2Megabyte expansion board for my Amiga 1000, and would like to create an efficient environment for generating code with my Manx Aztec C, v3.6a. I have had a great deal of difficulty, however. I created a 1.4M VD0:, and put SYS1: (all of it), plus SYS3:bin in there. I set CCTEMP=RAM:, and placed the source in VD0:. And then, after reading the above message from Matt to the net, I placed the source in RAM:. I am having difficulties when compiling. Every now and then, the compiler finds "Illegal char: 0x10" (or 0x14 or 0x4) in my source, which I search for, and can't find. After one of these, it randomly messes up while reading the source, and produces bogus errors at different places on successive attempts (without modifying the source). My question is, have you ever experienced this? If so, how did you fix it? Could you please send me your s:Startup-Sequence? I am at my wit's end, since I can not get anything to compile. I forgot to mention that BlitzFonts and DMouse were running in this environment (which were the only other changes made beside VD0:). Also, I got a Read/Write error in VD0: once or twice, but the problems occured *before* this happened. I may, unfortunately, have saved my original source code from VD0: to df0: *after* this happened, so I may have lost some integrity in those source files. But I wrote a simple filter program to check for control characters, and didn't find any, and even did an "hd" of the *.c files, and didn't find any. Also, the first time I was using ARP, which I thought "Aha! That's the problem." So I converted it back to AmigaDOS SYS1:, but still experienced the same problems. Thank you for any help you can give me. -- Glenn -- glewis@cit-vax.caltech.edu
