This screen print shows that $inc.bas could not be compiled. And that array.bas was not yet compiled.
Batch Add Files
Add files to the list. You can select multiple *.BAS files that will be added to the list.
Batch Add Dir
Add a directory to the list. All sub directories will be added too. The entire directory and the sub directories are searched for *.BAS files. They are all added to the list.
Batch Clear List
Clear the list of files.
Batch Clear Good
Remove the files that were compiled without error. You will keep a list with files that compiled with an error.
All results are shown in an error list at the bottom of the screen. When you double click an item, the file will be opened by the editor.

Options Compiler Chip
Item |
Description |
Chip |
Selects the target chip. Each chip has a corresponding x.DAT file with |
|
specifications of the chip. Note that some DAT files are not available |
|
yet. |
XRAM |
Selects the size of the external RAM. KB means Kilo Bytes. |
|
For 32 KB you need a 62256 STATIC RAM chip. |
HW Stack
The amount of bytes available for the hardware stack. When you use GOSUB or CALL, you are using 2 bytes of HW stack space.
When you nest 2 GOSUB’s you are using 4 bytes (2*2). Most statements need HW stack too. An interrupt needs 32 bytes.

|
Soft Stack |
Specifies the size of the software stack. |
|
|
Each local variable uses 2 bytes. Each variable that is passed to a sub |
|
|
program uses 2 bytes too. So when you have used 10 locals in a SUB |
|
|
and the SUB passes 3 parameters, you need 13 * 2 =26 bytes. |
|
Frame size |
Specifies the size of the frame. |
|
|
Each local variable is stored in a space that is named the frame space. |
|
|
When you have 2 local integers and a string with a length of 10, you |
|
|
need a frame size of (2*2) + 11 = 15 bytes. |
|
|
The internal conversion routines used when you use INPUT num, or |
|
|
STR(), or VAL(), etc, also use the frame. They need a maximum of 16 |
|
|
bytes. So for this example 15+16 = 31 would be a good value. |
|
XRAM wait state |
Select to insert a wait state for the external RAM. |
|
External Access |
Select this option to allow external access of the micro. The 8515 for |
|
enable |
example can use port A and C to control a RAM chip. This is almost |
|
|
always selected if XRAM is used |
|
Default |
Press or click this button to use the current Compiler Chip settings as |
|
|
default for all new projects. |

Size warning |
Select to generate a warning when the code size exceeds the Flash ROM |
|
|
size. |
|
Swap words |
This option will swap the bytes of the object code words. Useful for |
|
|
some programmers. Should be disabled for most programmers. |
|
|
Don't use it with the internal supported programmers. |
|
Optimize code |
This options does additional optimization of the generated code. Since it |
|
|
takes more compile time it is an option. |
|
Show internal |
Internal variables are used. Most of them refer to a register. Like |
|
variables |
_TEMP1 = R24. This option shows these variables in the report. |

Description |
Baud rate |
Selects the baud rate for the serial communication statements. You can |
|
also type in a new baud rate. |
|
It is advised to use $BAUD in the source code which overrides this setting. |
Frequency
Select the frequency of the used crystal. You can also type in a new frequency. It is advised to use $CRYSTAL in the source code which overrids this setting. Settings in source code are preferred since it is more clear.
