I got the newest ver of HLA 1.76: I got a problem `, a and z. It would't be recognize itself by the compiler and displays error.

Xor,

Replace all those ` with ' and your code will be compiled successfully.

It still doesn't work:

Error in file "chars.hla" at line 19 [errid:7874/hla.flx]:
Illegal character in file: <`><96/$60).
Near: << ` >>

errid: 41284/hlaparse.bsn
Undefined symbol.
Near: << a >>

7875
Illegal character in file: <'>(39/$27).
Near << ' >>

same as hlaparse.bsn

Near << ) >>

This error was compile with the source code from the first example.

Error in file "os.hhf" at line 1 [errid:98726/hlaparse.c]:
syntax error, unexpected ';', expecting DoOneCalStmt.

You have to use single quote  (the ' character) both time:

'a'

'z'

Do not use the key above your tab key.

oops, I didn't got what Vortex told me at first, thanks. `' I thought you meant all of it with it.

Ah those damned accent marks masquerading as apostrophe's again.

It's a conspiracy I say,  : )

[Sevag.K]

Ahh those accursed PDFs... if only they could get the quote right.

[DarkWolf]

Ahh the accursed PDF ...

Pretty Damned Fsk'd

I work with an engineer that converts schematics to pdf, not a bad idea but whatever app he uses always have that damned ColorSpace error : (

I tried to compile by either removing all the `'" or replace them as ' and " but it doesn't work. That's what is confusing in the HTML format version, the PDF I don't like to view it online.

A few things wrong with this.

1. These functions are no longer supported in the standard library (for compatibility reasons).
You'll need to include the file "win32cons.hhf" (and this must be done before including "stdlib.hhf")

2. change all the console.xxx function calls to win32cons.xxx

3. you must link with the wincons.lib library

4. you have to pass a char and not a string to the win32cons.fillRect function.  Replace the " " with ' '

5. there is also a value out of range somewhere in there, but I'll leave it to you to figure out where.
