Greetings,
I have a problem with Alsys Adaworld ver 5.1 host=>dos, target=>dos
compiler. I've talked to support, but they aren't responding ( it's
been two weeks). If someone could help me I'd be really happy.
I've included some email that I sent to support@alsys.com ( or
whatever it is). I'm supposed to get an update to 5.1.3 RSN.
I'd like to here what other Adaworld users think of it.
thanks

Hello xxxx,
Glad to have talked to you this morning. Included are the files we
discussed earler.
Recaping the problems
1. alsys 5.1 adaworld
bind failes after compile
typeing 'fastlink' at dos prompt gives same error
error reported is
"bug allocating 5d4d para..."
If tsr is loaded then same error but different number
of paragraphs requested
tested on dos 6.0 with and without himem.sys
2. Alsys 5.1.1 adaworld
A. Size increased from 200k to 360k. why?
B. 'alarm interrupt' failes.
works is in 5.1
hooks int70 ( IRQ8)
programmed at 16hz ( not 1024hz)
isr simplified to increment a variable ( hardly
any processing)
we know that something changed with phar-lap here,
because they remapped irq0-7 from int78-80 to
int8-f
run-time error
'abnormal program termination: Stack fault ..CS:EIP=..'
'my_main_program' example on page 186 in system_specific
manual works.
C. make fails
we have ~25 packages and 250 files ( almost all
functions/procedures are seperate)
if no modules are in the library, then 'ada w.m' works
after first successfull make ( 'ada i css_main.inv')
make always fails.
error reported
'error: 'make' is not a command
**** Unrecovered error in 'adaworld.def at line 18'
sometimes gives
'AdaMake fails due to internal error' also/besides
'ada w.m root=hello' works for simple hello program
'ada w.m root=hello2' did not work for same program
with a single 'with' statement which brings
in some of our app
after failure we've run norton quick unerase on
adaworld.def and found that when it works
there is nothing after the 'quit;' line in
adaworld.def, these lines are derived
in information from ada.ini. I've included
two adaworld.def ( one works, and one fails),
and the ada.ini file. These lines are
flagged in the ada.ini listing below.
tried with msdos6.0 and msdos6.22, on a 386dx25
and a 486dx266 with same results.
3. When will I receive the compile update.
If the now compiler fixes these problems, then I'll use
it, and bury these problems.
thx
