Install method?  Unzip into C:\HIDE or C:\HLA\HIDE or ?

I tried it in both locations, tried to run the program from the first example in Randall Hyde (pun intended?)'s book and crashed HLAPARSE.EXE after I hit F5

(WinXP SP3 FWIW)

I found that when I copied out of my e-book, some of the spaces were A0 instead of 20, so I fixed that with a hexeditor, so now I get a different error...



When I tried to run hlaparse manually (the HIDE folder is currently at C:\HLA\HIDE and the program currently saved at C:\HLA\HIDE\ex1.hla)

C:\hla>hlaparse hide\ex1.hla
Error in file "hide\ex1.hla" at line 1 [errid:4939/hla.flx]:
Could not open include file "stdlib.hhf"
(path="\stdlib.hhf").
Near: << ) >>

Attached is the corrected ex1.hla

This is a link for a PDF on how to install HLA. The link is from Randy's site.

Sorry,I also posted this in another thread in here by mistake.

This is a great forum!  Very helpful. 

The pdf you gave me led me to think about the environment variables, so after checking Microsoft KB: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310519 where I realised that I needed to reboot the computer after installing HLA so that the system environment variables set by the HLA setup I ran yesterday would become active.

Then it compiled fine using HLA.exe, but HIDE was another matter, I still had the same error

So I expanded the "Output" section at the bottom and found that there was a folder mentioned

Output Path: "C:\hla\HIDE\temp\"

Eureka!! I created the temp\ folder, and it compiled fine.

Thanks for the nudge in the right direction.

Sevag.K, you might want to have that folder created in the .zip file - put in a 0-byte file "ignore.me" if you need. ;)

Glad I could help,sometimes it those little details that give you brain burn..It helps if you have a good understanding of DOS sometimes, batch files are kinda a hold over in Windows.

i tried it with both powerarchiver and 7-zip and the temp folder was properly created.  there is probably a setting in your zip program for creating empty folders.

however, since this is not the first time people have had this problem, next version of HIDE (when i get a chance, and yes, pun is intended) i'll have HIDE actually check for the temp folder on startup and create one if it's missing.

Keep an eye on the quotaion characters as well. Some PDF's or ebooks may use the wrong one and that might throw up an error.
