Error 39 is "out-of-memory". It is possible that on a 520 you really are running out of memory. Gulam probably uses quite a bit, then the make program uses some more and there's not enough left over for the compile, especially with a RAM disk installed. Error 36 is "access not possible" I don't know what this means exactly but I think it can happen when TOS is confused, as when it's running low on memory. The GEMDOS errors are listed in several places: 1) Atari GEMDOS manual (with $300 dev. kit) 2) Book "Atari ST Internals" (around $20) 3) Most good C compiler docs, inc. MWC and Megamax C. 4) Probably other ST programming books I hope this info helps some. -- David Beckemeyer (david@bdt.uucp) | "Yea I've got medicine..." as the Beckemeyer Development Tools | cookie cocks a his Colt, "and if 478 Santa Clara Ave, Oakland, CA 94610 | you don't keep your mouth shut, I'm UUCP: {unisoft,sun}!hoptoad!bdt!david | gonna give you a big dose of it!"
