Helo Jerry, more to report. When I searched my hard drive for symbols.tde, I sent every one to the recycle bin. Then when i use the build button, TDE v4.2 BETA 2 makes a new symbols.tde file that lands in the c:\TDEv42b2 directory. Now the file looks normal, and when i try to emulate by stepping, TDE locks up. In fact, the TDE app loses windows "focus" and the... well heck even stranger, now the Code viewing window is all "ADDLW FF" even though it's now working and stepping through code. Well Jerry looks like the 4.2 beta needs a beta 3 after the 2. TDE4.1 runs perfectly fine, no problems anywhere -- just don't get all those new tools!

Try: include '16F877.INC' (assuming it is in your project directory) else something like: include 'c:\tde42\16F877.inc' NOTE the SINGLE QUOTES are necessary. >-----Original Message----- >From: pic microcontroller discussion list >[mailto:PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU]On Behalf Of Jerry Merrill >Sent: Sunday, July 22, 2001 10:33 AM >To: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU >Subject: Re: PROBLEMS WITH TDE v42 BETA 2!!!
