First of all, a very nice guy from Texas called me with what has to be the correct answer for "why the hell did the compiler say 'bad arg temp'?"

Secondly: >) guy@sun.UUCP writes >) ... if your users are aware that "compiler error" really means "bring this >) message, along with the source code, to your local support person", ... [Barry Shein also seconded this] And I third it; why else did I fill my recently-written compiler (pidc) with messages of the form "Compiler error -- contact pidc support personnel." Unfortunately, I *am* the "pidc support personnel".... :-( ;-) -- The MAD Programmer -- 919-228-3313 (Cornet 291) alias: Curtis Jackson ...![ ihnp4 ulysses cbosgd allegra ]!burl!rcj ...![ ihnp4 cbosgd akgua watmath ]!clyde!rcj
