I think it has something to do with arrays of function pointers, but I can't tell--and their tech support is not very helpful. Also, the MIX utility that they've included to convert .OBJ files to the .MIX format will sometimes give the error message "Could not process threads." What's a thread? Tech support says that Turbo assembler causes threads. I don't use TASM. Oh. Okay, use MASM. But what's a thread?.... I'm going to upgrade to TC++. --Mark W.
