  I'm trying to write a rather simple CDA using Orca/Pascal and am running
into problems which I believe are being caused by bugs in Orca.
  I have set it up so that I should be able to debug it either under the
Shell or the Desktop and then simply put in the compiler directive to
create a CDA file--{$ClassicDesk 'filename' Start ShutDown} and then
change the filetype after compilation.
  The program runs under the shell and also independently under GS/OS as
a S16 file, but when I move a CDA file into the DESK.ACCS folder, reboot
and try to run the CDA, it immediately bombs.
  I've also found that I get linkage errors without apparent reason.  I
will run the file, get a linkage error, then rerun it and have it link
without a problem.  It also works the other way--it will link, run OK,
and then I'll try to recompile (without any changes) and get linkage
errors again.  (All are during the 2nd pass.)
  Is it me or is it Orca?
  I'm using the latest version of everything in Orca, along with
System 5.0.2.
