Help !!! I am trying to assemble the Argo.s terminal program with my Amiga assembler and it keeps giving me the following message: Failed to Allocate 6 words Increase workspace size fatal error 93 – workspace exausted – increase workspace size. I've looked in the manual but it doesn't have any error messages listed. What is this @#$%*%$!@ assembler trying to tell me ???? Any help would be appreciated….. Thanks.

To increase stack space in Assem, type : ASSEM argo.s -o argo.o -i INCLUDE -c w90000 (The above line will assemble Argo.s to argo.o with a workspace of 90000! Unfortunately, the -c W command is undocumented anywhere!! I had to ring MetaComco for advice ! ) — Jez. * Reply: 8624

Assemble with the line: assem sourcefile.name -i includefile.name -o objfile.name -c W100000 to set the workspace to 100,000 bytes (or whatever). Also, if you get an assembler crash, the problem is stack space. I found that one trying to get a listing of argoterm (STACK 8000 works). I have problems with the linked output of argo, though. Be curious to see how you make out. I either get "not an object module" message or a guru crash #00000003.000097B0 which is where the task loads in CLI. Let me know how you fare, OK? -Larry-
