It seems like you are using 4GL under MS Windows (from the module name FGLPC.DLL). If you are, the thing you missed is that yes, this is a waste of money. NewEra is a much better tool, and many others are available. 4GL on Unix for character based user interfaces is a *great* tool indeed, and realy worth the money. I have no idea what caused your error, but from experiences with the Unix version some bad syntax in your source can cause the compiler to crash. Try to comment away large parts of it at a time until you narrow down what made it crash. (Don't bother about functionallity, only ability to compile the code!)
