Mike, try to run a program that needs more than 300k of memory. Bombo time! Try using library routines that address memory in the lower 512k, like a graphic or gadgets, etc., and watch it blow away. GFA has lots of serious problems with memory management and cannot run programs as large as or requiring memory over 512k inclusive of the program!!! You will also find at least one supported command which is unrecognized by the interpreter if it is in a .LST file, but is recognized when in a .GFA file! Try converting a long AmigaBasic program with that converter. If more than a few hundred lines it crashes! Hope you have fun with GFA, but I would switch to something else more reliable, compatible, etc. I went to HiSoft Basic, which is much better, tho the programming environment isn't as nice as GFA. Unfortunately, it isn't free of bugs either.
