Wel, I can't speak to that particular compiler, but some programs have
problems with Stacked disks.  Rule one of using Stacker -- never use
SSWAP.  You don't have to reformat or repartition.  Simply eliminate
the SSWAP (which should leave you with a tiny C: unStacked and a large
D: Stacked), then shrink the Stacker partition to increase the size of
the C: partition.  Then move your compiler.
