Well the error message IS “abnormal program termination”. (Admittedly, quite a vague message.)

Have you ever been able to compile? It sounds to me like your mcc18 installation is corrupt. Did you install it from this year’s CD which came in the kit? Can you try reinstalling it?

We had a cast problem (silly problem actually). We had created a struct and for some odd reason we decided to return it as an int. Well, that probably will never work.

The unusual thing is that we recieved no real error message, just the ‘abnormal termination’ statement (no line numbers for illegal cast, etc.)

Interesting stuff. Thanks for the reply!
