Correction for "BASICMPWC.h" File Producing Error 261 (60420)

SUMMARY

The file "BASICMPWC.h" supplied with Macintosh QuickBASIC must be altered for use with MPW (Macintosh Programmer's Workshop) C Version 3.00. The corrections shown below allow the MPW C routines supplied with QuickBASIC to be compiled with MPW C Version 3.00.

This information applies to Microsoft QuickBASIC Version 1.00 for the Apple Macintosh.

MORE INFORMATION

If any of the MPW C routines supplied with Macintosh QuickBASIC (AddStrings.C, PrintVerRec.C or PrintArgs.C) are compiled with MPW C Version 3.00, the following error message is generated:

   #pascal void Debugger()
   #   extern 0xA9FF;
   #                ?
   ### Error 261 we already did this function
   #----------------------------------------------------------
   #   File "BasicMPWC.h"; Line 186 # Compiling
   #----------------------------------------------------------

This error is generated because this function declaration also occurs in the "Types.h" header file that comes with MPW C 3.00. To eliminate the error message, comment out the last two lines of the file "BASICMPWC.h", so it appears as follows:

   /* PASCAL VOID Debugger()
        extern 0xA9FF;   */

After saving this change to disk, the MPW C files can be compiled without receiving any error messages.
