Hugo: compiler errors solved


3 Dec 95 19:38:20 -500

I managed to replicate the compiler errors when compiling the file
SAMPLE.HUG by downloading GRAMMAR.G from ftp.gmd.de as a binary file,
not as an ASCII text file. The compiler then gets all mixed up
judging where the end of a line comes, and generates occasional strange
errors (after mangling the line, of course).

To fix this, simply load the offending file (i.e. GRAMMAR.G, or whatever
might contain the error-causing lines) into a text editor--MS-DOS users
could use the DOS Editor; Windows users might use NOTEPAD--and resave
it. The saved file should then be in text format.

For those having this trouble, please let me know if this fix works. I
suppose I should have Volker put a note or README in the \hugo directory
explaining that all Hugo source files (.H, .G, .HUG) should be FTPed
as ASCII text files, not binary.
