There is a bug in GS/OS that causes programs developed under ORCA/C that have arrays larger than 64K to clobber themselves when compiled. To fix this bug you MUST delete all .a, .root, .exe files before compiling. It seems that GS/OS appends the new compile onto the old compile without deleting the old files. The reason is because of the way GS/OS handles the data forks, according to Mike Westerfield. Apple is aware of the problem and will hopefully fix it soon.

Can you be more specific about what the bug is? (Enquiring minds want to know :-) In my experience, GS/OS has been very good about doing what it's documented as doing. The tools are another matter... :-) -- Scott Lindsey | I dig iguana in their outer space duds Claris Corp. | saying, "Aren't you glad we only eat bugs?" ames!claris!wombat| DISCLAIMER: These are not the opinions of Claris, Apple, wombat@claris.com | StyleWare, the author, or anyone else living or Dead.
