Default GNII Max Alt warning

Hi Andy,

The problem is that the old compiler is no longer available as far as I can
tell. And when I had it years ago, the process for creating the files was
not straightforward. There were some compiler options to set. It is not a
simple or straightforward process.

The goal is to get it working in a new compiler. But then it will not work
on the old Compaq Aero 1500 units which are still quite popular.

I understand that it is frustrating that it can't be set to 18000 feet. But
you can disable the warning.

Best Regards,

Paul Remde

I understand that a current compiler may be required to develop GNII
for more recent operating systems and hardware platforms but it is not
required for making minor changes to the code being run on current
operating systems and platforms.

Why can't the antique complier be run on an antique computer and the
constant "15000" be changed to 50000?

I still have a DOS based 80286 machine. If that is antique enough
send me the source code, the compiler, and a copy of the compiler
documentation. I don't even need you to put the files on 5 1/4 inch
discs as I can transfer them with my antique parallel interface ZIP
drive.
