AW: "Compiled code too complex" error message - Problem solved.

[Laaser Christian]

Thank you very much for your message.
I think the new Feb 2001 distribution doesn't use the large version.
Look at the code extract from options.h:
#define SMALL_HUGS   0
#define REGULAR_HUGS 0
#define LARGE_HUGS   0
If I understand it correctly LARGE_HUGS should normally be defined as 1 =

so that the large version is used by default.
I can confirm that changing NUM_FIXUPS to 1000 solves my problem
because I used Feb 2001 distribution with the modified hugs.exe=20
Karl M. Syring sent me and the interpreter is working fine.
