I found this bug almost immediately after V3.6 was released. I took a few hours, narrowed it down to a minimal code example, and sent it to Manx. About a month later, I received a nice letter that the bug had been fixed. I don't know if this means that we will see a bugfix released, though. Maybe not until the next version? :-( The bug is REALLY weird. My minimal code example was basically a large switch statement. If you changed ONE CHARACTER CONSTANT from 'x' to 'y', the program compiled and assembled fine. Otherwise, assembler error. My friend theorized that somehow the 'x' was being interpreted as part of a hexadecimal number...??? Anyway, if anyone wants so see my program, let me know. -- Dan Barrett ins_adjb@jhunix.UUCP UUCP barrett@cs.jhu.edu (128.220.13.4) ARPA Dept. of Computer Science, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD 21218
