Hi everyone,

Assembly question. When using writing your UI in Espire, when it gives the
line number of an error, I doesn't just count the lines from the file you
are compiling, but also the lines in all the files you include, i.e.

stupid.uih
----------
1: #include "generic.uih" /* About 1200 lines */
2: stupid line with an error

UIC will say you have an error on line 1202.

Being that generic.uih is more like 1183 or something like that lines, it
isn't that easy to just subtract the lines from the error number, especially
not if you include other files, and if you make a uih file it makes things
worse. Still worse is UIC uses direct screen writes, so you can't redirect
the output. I have to hit the pause key and multitask to try to find the
errors, and it's really hard.

So, I have two questions:
1) Can I have UIC do line number like when you program in C? I tried using,
#line but it didn't do anything.

2) Is there any way to redirect the output of UIC

Trying to port about 800 lines of GOC UI code, and I've got about 80 errors,
and it's impossible to find them.
