Dear Bill and the rest of the List,
The .EXE code error comes at the time you link your code onto the chart
because it includes all the functions your code calls at that time. It is
the addition of all this supplementary code that is throwing your system
over the limit.
If you want professional help with your "Whittling" let me know. In
brief, these are the methods I use to pare down the size:
1) Avoid any division you possibly can. Substitute with Multiplication
Includes code to test for Division by Zero
2) Remove any references to StudyBar [00]
Includes check for MaxBarsBack error
3) Remove any unnecessary Begin...End statements
Begin End Block adds program logic
4) Remove unnecessary Parenthesis
Program logic to evaluate Parenthesis
5) Whittle, Whittle and more Whittle
And for your other question, .TOK stands for "Token" - you EZL code is
broken down into "Tokens" during a multi-pass operation then the tokens are
converted into Machine Language. These are stored in the ".TOK" file which
is a loadable object module (.OBJ) with a proprietary header attached. The
header tells the Loader how to link in the Functions and IncludeSystems,
about the passing of Inputs, etc...
I wish I could be of more help,
Samuel

understanding is that, as long as each system is less 64k, you can string
as many as you want together and get around the EXE limit. Why do I still
get the EXE error?
