Andy, You might want to post your code in the Symantec Development Tools Forum (GO SYMDEV). I don't know if the guys over there still check this forum or not (especially right now, since one of the sysops is on his honeymoon). 1. Indeed, constants ending in F should be treated as floats. Sounds like a real bug to me. 2. I believe this is mentioned in the THINK C manual. Indeed, segmentation directives in a library are not honored. They'd need to rewrite the linker to deal with this. This has been true of the THINK environment from day 1. 3. I haven't tried a precompiled header that uses a precompiled header. Sorry. 4. Again, check the THINK C manuals. (I refer to the THINK C manuals because there's a lot of common ground involved here; most of what you're running into is really in the THINK Project Manager.) I know FAR DATA doesn't mean you can still have more than 32K of global data in a single file; I believe all it does is let you have 32K *per file* rather than per project. Again, I'm in unfamiliar waters here, as I've never used far code or far data. 5. See above. This does sound like a bug, although it could just be a natural result of the code overflow. Joe
