Meridian and Stacker

Meridian and Stacker

[Paul Schwartz]

	I've been trying to run Meridian Ada 4.1 on a stacked disk and it
compiles and hangs.  After I reboot the object file is there so the problem 
seems to be exiting the compiler.  I can't move it to the unstacked portion of the disk since it looks for most everything on the c: drive and the unstacked
portion is labeled d:  I hate to have to partition the disk just so I can have
an unstacked c: drive.  Using DOS subst or assign dosn't work either.  So...
Has anybody else run into this problem and have they figured a way around it?

Thanks
	Paul

It is a known bug.  A few months ago, just after Verdix took over 
Meridian, I received an ad from them which announced that a bug 
fix release was available for ~$99.00 or so.  It fixed that and 
a few others.

Wel, I can't speak to that particular compiler, but some programs have
problems with Stacked disks.  Rule one of using Stacker -- never use
SSWAP.  You don't have to reformat or repartition.  Simply eliminate
the SSWAP (which should leave you with a tiny C: unStacked and a large
D: Stacked), then shrink the Stacker partition to increase the size of
the C: partition.  Then move your compiler.

you could consider buying an operating system.

1/2 :)

I had a problem with Meridian after Stacking my hard disk.  However, I deleted 
my 
Meridian system and reinstalled it.  From that point on I have had no
problem.  I am also running Meridian's Windowed system on a Stackered 
hard disk with no problem.

Before Stacking my hard disk I did have some problems with the Meridian
ACE environment.  On occasion it would hang up.  I found a quick fix
by sometime running ADAREAL before going into ACE, then coming out
and run ADAEXT and go in again (or vica versa).  This seemed to cure
my problems for a while.
