If you are suddenly getting many errors, it could be that you are hitting
the 32k limit with the compiler. Check the size of your .asm file, a68k
(the compiler included with Fargo) chokes on anything over 32k. To fix
this, break it up into a few files and include them in the main one (I'm
not sure how to do this with TICC)

As (perhaps) you can imagine, it is quite hard to offer assistance when one
has practically no knowledge of what stage the other is at in their
learning. I (as I think others might) get slightly annoyed when people just
say "Teach me", giving no indication of what they know or what they would
like to know. I think a better course of action might be to play around a
little with what you do know about ASM and ask specific questions that you
come across. There are many (myself included) willing to share their
knowledge, but how can this knowledge be shared when there are practically
no parameters on what you would like to know. =)

Hmm, can't help you here, but there are many others with good ideas to
share :)
>PS-whoever made the 92 asm version of jezzball--fix it! It don't work!
As (perhaps) you can imagine, JezzBall is quite a complex program. The
author is working on it, and I'm sure he realizes that it does not yet work :)
