[comp.sys.apple2] Orca/Pascal w/ 5.0.4 Followup

00csgunn@bsu-ucs.uucp (II INFINATUM) (02/01/91)

This is a followup to what I found out from the letters I received from
all of you out there on the net concerning conflicts with orca/pascal and
System 5.0.4...

    The problem that I had was that my Orca/Libraries directory was not in
alphabetical order. Therefore it missed the file PasLib... <Helps to have
that linked in> Other problem I have heard from people indicate the same
type of problems. It does not matter, from my dist. disks, what order you
install orca/m and orca/pascal one of them gets botched in the Lib directory
My suggestion is to use Prosel or something similar to re-arrange the directory
entrys every time you change anything with orca.

Hope this helps. I will post the response I get from Mike Westerfield
concerning this when I finally find the time to log onto Genie again.

This is basically what you will hear from Mike. The Orca linkers scan the
library directory for libraries in whatever directory order is on the disk,
i.e. go into prodos 8 and cat the directory and that's the order Orca will
scan them in. In general, language specific libraries havee to come first,
with SysLib last. If you have more than one language installed, it may be
necessary to order them too; I can't find my Orca/C 1.1 sheet which explains
this stuff in detail.
