 | | Error creating program

What, exactly does it mean when dll says "error creating program"? I run into this from time to time where it will give me this error, but reloading the OS makes it go away... for a while. Tonight I did a little investigation, and it appeared to be (...) (24 years ago, 22-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

I'll be out of email contact for the next week or so, so if anyone emails me about 0.2.5 or 0.2.6 :) please don't feel like I'm ignoring you. Enjoy Christmas, everyone...

| | new legOS release
|
|
Hey, everyone. I've released a new version of legOS- 0.2.5. For the most part, this is a maintenance release- a few small fixed here and there. The one major upgrade (and the best reason for anyone to upgrade) is the new C++ support that has been (...) (24 years ago, 20-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos, lugnet.robotics)

(...) My legOS.srec file, which is compiled with all the default settings, is exactly 21000 bytes long. The calculated size is 8144. Which is sort of in the ballpark of half the file size (if we use a very big ballpark). The proper estimate is (...) (24 years ago, 20-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

(...) Here's how to determine size given a .srec file: 1) Look at the last S1 line in the s-record file. An example from firm0328.lgo: S113E1606F... 2) Look at characters 4-8 (start counting with 0): S113E1606F... ^^^^ This is the starting address (...)

(...) So my 18k kernel actually only takes 9k of RCX memory? Suddenly my apparent out-of-memory errors make a lot less sense.... (24 years ago, 20-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

(...) Isn't the actual size of the kernal about half the .srec size? That file contains ascii codes for for hex bytes, a pair of characters would be one byte. Rossz (24 years ago, 20-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

(...) Actually, the kernel can hit 21-22K (depending on the compile-time options.) My current legOS.srec sits at 21232 bytes. So, I'm going to do the update.

I tried your new procedure and got the same result as before. Then I transfered the whole installation (not the zip and tar files) to my notebook.
