Well, without analyzing details I can say that if you have represented
alignment of your source, that is a big part of the problem. The slash (/)
from any compiler directive should be in column 7.

After my commute, I can have a clearer look if you haven't resolved yet.

about RE: Form-Type entry for main procedure not valid :

I haven't kept up with the moves, and I'm not sure I'm receiving
messages in
the right order anyway. I know that you need to have a space after
** to
define tables.

If you supply the source again, and indicate what's in that copy (all
D
specs, or all C specs or whatever) maybe we can help more.

I'd be happy to. This is what I currently have:

I inserted a space after ** to initiate your CTDATA specs.

I'm still getting the error. Now after the O specs.

Thanks,

I bought my brother some gift-wrap for Christmas. I took it to
the
Gift
Wrap department and told them to wrap it, but in a different
print so
he
would know when to stop unwrapping.

I'm getting an error during the compile. The error is below
after
the
first line of a
compile time table.
