Newbie TADS Question


Tue, 13 Jun 95 02:36:33 -0500

Ok, so I'm a newbie, I admit it. I've been programming with TADS for about
2 months now, and although I've circumvented the following problem quite a
few times, I admit I'm quite stuck.
The adventure game I'm writing has almost 4000 lines of code now, and
since I don't have the registered version of TADS (yet, due to financial
difficulty) I keep getting an error when I compile my code. The TADS compiler
says that there is an error at the very last line of my main code, but I've
checked many times, and there just isn't anything wrong there. I figured out
that what it's saying is that there is an unidentified object name SOMEWHERE
in my code, but it doesn't point out WHERE, because when it creates the object
list, it can't find the object at the end of compiling. Now, since the compiler
is case-sensitive, the object-name (or whatever) could even be spelled right,
but lacks a capital letter in a crucial spot. Basically, I'm looking for a
needle in a haystack, and I was wondering if there is an easier way of
doing it instead of going through EVERY line of code, making sure EVERY name
is spelled correctly/has the proper capitalization. TADS is a wonderful
language, but this one problem is a major pain. Any help would be...well...
helpful! Thank you! :-)
