I've been following along with the book and I have had no problems running the program examples out of the book until now.
This is program 4.1 copied right from the book:
program charInputDemo;
#include( "stdlib.hhf" );
static
c:char;
begin charInputDemo;
stdout.put( "Enter a character: " );
stdin.getc();
if( al >= `a' ) then
if( al <= `z' ) then
and( $5f, al );
endif;
endif;
stdout.put
(
"The character you entered, possibly ", nl,
"converted to upper case, was `"
);
stdout.putc( al );
stdout.put( "`", nl );
end charInputDemo;
I get the following build errors when I try to run Program 4.1
Build :C:\hla\charInputDemo.hla
-C:\hla\charInputDemo.hla

This is program 4.2 copied from the book:
program charInputDemo;
#include( "stdlib.hhf" );
static
c:char;
begin charInputDemo;
stdout.put( "Enter a character: " );
stdin.getc();
if( al >= `a' ) then
if( al <= `z' ) then
and( $5f, al );
endif;
endif;
stdout.put
(
"The character you entered, possibly ", nl,
"converted to upper case, was `"
);
stdout.putc( al );
stdout.put( "`", nl );
end charInputDemo;
I get similar errors for 4.2:
Build :C:\hla\charInputDemo2.hla

Also when I extracted the files for HIDE, I merged them with the hla directory, but I didn't overwrite any files.
Any help appreciated.
Hate to reply to my own thread, but this isn't intended as a bump.
I just tried running the compiler through the cmd prompt and I still get errors.

I've read ahead since some of the book deals with CPU architecture instead of coding (very interesting stuff for a novice - though a bit over my head), but I'm stuck otherwise.
Ugh... I feel stupid...
I should have typed it out manually instead of copying and pasting.
There is a big difference between " ` " and " ' ".
I only noticed just now.
... Sorry. Disregard.
