}I was having a major problem with this using TC 1.00.  It seemed that

It compiles fine when I do the compilation on the hard disk.  I'm using
the integrated environment, not the command line version.  I am not using
make or a .BAT file.  I don't think I have the -Qx option on (I thought
this applied to the command line version only).

}Anyway, if you are using a .PRJ file and it locks all the time, delete
}your .PRJ file and rebuild it.  Then do a complete rebuild of all your
}source.  That should work, IF it is your problem.

It compiles fine when I do it on the hard disk.  It only hangs when I
try to compile from a RAM disk.
