A pseudo-problem?

Hi, all I don't know whether the following code is correct or not, but both Compiler.Compile and PC.Compile choke on it. (The first with a trap, the second with a criptical report "PC.Compile not done (10/10)".) CONST digits = 10; ops = 5; TYPE Button = .. DigitBtn = .. OpBtn = .. (* auxiliary type used for grouping related items *) Buttons = RECORD digits : ARRAY digits (* constant *) OF DigitBtn; ops : ARRAY ops (* constant *) OF OpBtn; END Of course I may change the name of constants (digits => numOfDigits), but still there must be either a error reported or an .Obx/.Obj file at the end. Regards, Vasile

Bernhard, > On a mounted VFAT filesystem ... and storing its contents with ET.StoreAscii from the menu bar leaves some ugly backup entries in directory BOOT/GRUB: Similar to a problem on a 486 machine at home. Yes, seems to be a problem with some FAT filesystems. If you have time, please have a look at the source. There is provision for significant kernel logging output but I was unable to see any evidence in the kernel log. Any tips? Thanks, ... P. http://carnot.pathology.ubc.ca/

NO alpha 5.1.2003 - Filesystem - bugs or features ?
by Treutwein Bernhard 03 Feb '04

a little bit of feedback for NO alpha 5.1.2003 and its mountable filesystems: 1. On a mounted VFAT filesystem editing a file with FileSystem.Mount BOOT FatFS IDE0#06 ~ ET.OpenAscii BOOT:BOOT/GRUB/menu.lst and storing its contents with ET.StoreAscii from the menu bar leaves some ugly backup entries in directory BOOT/GRUB: Volume in drive C is DOS Volume Serial Number is 313A-16E3 Directory of C:\BOOT\GRUB BOOT_G~1 BAK 157 29.01.04 14:04 BOOT/GRUB/menu.lst.Bak BOOT_G~1 BAK 595 03.02.04 11:03 BOOT/GRUB/menu.lst.Bak BOOT_G~1 BAK 623 03.02.04 11:05 BOOT/GRUB/menu.lst.Bak 3 file(s) 1.375 bytes 0 dir(s) 7.888.896 bytes free Volume in drive C is DOS Volume Serial Number is 313A-16E3 Directory of C:\BOOT\GRUB MENU LST 684 03.02.04 11:17 menu.lst 1 file(s) 684 bytes 0 dir(s) 7.888.896 bytes free 2.
