Hello, Clean people.
Background:
I am new to this list; I lecture in Computer Science at Sheffield
University, UK. My research interests are in logic, formal
verification and programming language semantics. My department has
just (with some encouragement from me:-) decided to change from
teaching Lisp as a first language to our undergraduate students to
teaching Clean. I may well end up teaching the course myself. I hope
it will turn out to be a good decision!
Our 120-odd first year students will (probably) be using PCs running
Windows95 or 98, but I use a Mac myself.
Problem: most of the IO examples in the Clean 1.3 distribution fail to
run on my Mac Quadra 610. The exception is the SimpleDataBase, with
which I experience no problems. I am running system 7.5, with over
52MBytes of main memory. The compilation and code-generation stages
proceed normally, but during the linking process I get an error
message:
error: file [Picture] too large (>32K) [some stats]
Can anyone shed any light on this problem?
Thanks,
Matt.
