now it says "Error PArsing: symbols.tde" and "Verify project setup."
I've got the program installed and running in a directory called TDEv42b2
and not TDE.  Shall I rename the directory and remove and re-add the SRC
file?
Thanks Jerry.

Ron:

The 'unknown symbol PORTA' and 'illegal mnumonic/operand' messages are all
indications that the assembler does not 'know' the default symbols for this
device or even WHAT device (12bit/14bit?, memory size?..) to target.  This
is due to a missing header file.

  - Set your project tool for 'CVASM' (This will use CVASM 6.0).
  - Ensure that you have a '   include xxxx.inc' line in your source file
BEFORE ANY OTHER EXECUTABLE LINE. THis replaces the old 'DEVICE' directive.
There is a README in your TDE 4.2 install directory that discusses the
slight changes required  to use CVASM 6.0
  - The INCLUDE directive can not be in the first column (or it will be
considered to be a LABEL).
  - The included file name can include an absolute or a relative path to
the file.

This should BUILD and RUN OK.....let us know.

Thanks for helping us shake out the BETA.....please be sure to forward your
observations to us so that we can incorporate them into TDE 4.2 before
final release.

Jerry
