Please read the TIFF256.TXT document, at least sections 1 and 2, to make sure you are setting things up right. 2.) If Turbo C says "Undefined Symbol ___brklvl in module vsa_all0", add the following line to the top of your main program file: unsigned __brklvl; 3.) Tell me if there are any unresolved problems. ------------------------- Assist for 3 Compilers ---------------------- To help get you started, I have provided the "project" files for three different compiler Integrated Development Environments (IDEs).
