The length of the file I'm The same thing happened to me. I finally figured out that it was the source file that was corrupt. I made a simple basic program to copy the source file, after changing the filetype to TEXT. The new version worked (after changing the filetype to SRC). I couldn't find ANY difference in the two files. I think there must have been some kind of control characters that accidentally got in the source file and the basic copy program didn't accept them when copying. OH! I tried copying the from the orca shell too, and THAT copy was corrupt too. I don't think it's a problem with 5.0.2, because that's what I've been using since it came out. >think of that I changed recently.) If it matters, I have a ROM 01 GS with >1.25MB and a hard disk. Please help. ORCA is pretty useless without the editor. That's the same setup I have. Did you know that you can use any text editor? just change the filtype to SRC before you try assemblying it. ...and maybe the aux. file type too. > >-- ____________________________________________________ >Benji Rudiak-Gould /"RESTRICTIONS: >benji@euler.berkeley.edu / The time must be less than 2,147,483,647 seconds." >________________________/ -- sleep manpage _______________________________________ | | | BITNET-- mquinn@utcvm | | pro-line-- mquinn@pro-gsplus.cts.com | |---------------------------------------| | Assembly- a low level language | | Assembler- used to create an assembly | | Language program. | ---------------------------------------
