tpc crashes when invoked from Command Prompt in Win XP

[Actor]

In the last 24 hours I have had TPC crash whenever I use it on my XP machine. I.e., I type TPC myprog and the Command Prompt window immediately disappears.

The problem seems to be connected with certain sources files, i.e., files with .pas as the extension. However, compiling unaffected files a few times seems to attach the problem to that file.

I've never had this problem before. Has anyone else?

I'm posting this from my Mac while I run a virus scan on my PC.

Turbo Pascal hasn't seemed to run at all lately on my Windows XP. However it runs fine through DOSBox. If you don't find any problems, you can try that.

Hi

Or use a Pascal compiler designed for Windows XP. For example FreePascal's Windows version.
