Borland error messages on DOS. (Error 132 at 1B7F sort of thing.)
Historically, one of my pet peeves with compiler writers. IBM 704
FORTRAN had better and clearer diagnostics than many of today's compilers.
Well keep in mind that given that error, you could stick that address into
the "Find Error Location" of the IDE and it would drop you right on the
line of code that triggered the error.
Check out Lazarus for doing cross-platform GUI applications.
