Have you set up all the HLA environment variables like HLAINC, HLALIB
and so on? Are the HLA compiler driver and the compiler proper in your
path? Is the current directory in your path? Show the exact commands
that you typed (copy-paste, don't retype) and the exact output of those
commands, upto the point where the first error occurs.

The HLA system executables (the files in the C:\hla directory) are not
in your search path. You need to add them. You can do:

set path=C:\hla;%path%

You can put this line as the last line in your autoexec.bat file too. If
not, then everytime you open a command prompt to work with HLA, you
need to add C:\hla to your path before proceeding. In Windows NT family
of systems there is also a GUI method to add directories to your search
path, but since it's more than 2 years since I last worked with Windows
I don't remember ATM, someone else will be along shortly to tell you
the way.

Ok, now it works fine. really do not fully understand what all you
have said above, but at least now I can work in the book and learn
more about this stuff. thank you. I would hope some one else will come
alone and help me with the final setup. My lap top at home has Vista
ultima, well this run the same way on there as it does here or is
there somthing defferent?

Thank you again. Test professor
