#SAS/C bug…
Help! If there is anyone who is an expert on SAS/C please give me some help
here. I've been porting GNU Make to Amy (it's actually pretty much done)
and wanted to use forkv() and wait() to fire off the commands as needed.
Unfortunately most (not all, but most) commands crash the system. Just to
see if I was crazy, I typed in the example code that SAS gives in the
manual for forkv(), and tried again. Same result. Specifically, it seems to
crash on any AmigaDOS commands (which, being BCPL commands, I'm not real
suprised..), but also any ARP commands! The exception is sometimes a 3 and
sometimes a 4. Oh, BTW – I re-wrote the sample test program using Manx and
their fexecv() / wait() combo, and everything works fine. Problem is I've
pretty much switched over to Lattice, mainly because trying to port stuff
from GNU/Unix using Manx got too frustrating. If anyone has any ideas,
please let me know. Also, I have lost the SAS support number (tech support)
– can anyone give it to me?
