ok i found out why Assert always just says "Object" - it doesnt call
super("file(number)") in its constructor. That was annoying when i found that it
wasnt my fault (ArrayBoundsError does it so why shouldnt AssertError?).

Anyway ive modified the AssertError class so now i need to rebuild the phobos library. How do i run that win32.mak file? Run "make win32.mak" doesnt seem to work.

"make  -f  win32.mak" should do it

depends on the make, but I just type "make -?", which works for both
Borland's (the one I tend to use) and DMC++'s (the one I tend to moan about)

I think it also needs to inherit from Exception (or Error?) instead of directly from Object, which doesn't have a constructor.

thanks walter. But im having difficulty building the phobos library. Here is a paste from the output where it stops:

>c:\dm\bin\sc.exe -c internal\minit.asm
>masm386 -DM_I386=1 -D_WIN32 -Mx internal\minit.asm;

>Can't run 'masm386', check PATH
>Error: 'c:\dm\bin\sc.exe' not found

But i know sc is in the right place because it already found and used it before. I also know that masm386 is in the same directory as sc.exe. I downloaded masm386 from http://cmeerw.org/prog/dm/rtl.html. is there a more official site to get it from ?

You do not need masm. If you are using make, then it sufficces to `touch' the existing "minit.obj".

So long!

minit.obj is already supplied for those who do not have masm386.exe.
