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 b\253 ( Brett Bolen ) brettb@tas.com email to me or post if you think it may be benificial. ---------------------------------------- email follows. 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 b\253 ------------------------------------------ ada.ini -- This file sets up some general defaults and all of the defaults for -- the COMPILE and BIND commands.
