After hours of frigging around with HUGE test programs, I accidentally stumbled on a stupidly simple test program! Even better - it crashes the compiler! I only hope that you can reproduce the bug. I am using GPC-970714 for DJGPP in a Win95 shell. The following command line was used to create the files in OBJBUG.ZIP: redir -e error.out gpc -c bug01.pas --automake Bye ________________________ | _) | | e-mail: bernie@icenet.com.au |___)ernhard |_|schirren ptschirrenb@cc.curtin.edu.au www: www.geocities.com/CollegePark/Quad/8070/
