just following up on this (as my other reply hasn't srrived back from the list 
yet) but i have just attempted to, with laz 0.9.27 fpc 2.2.3, run my app from 
the laz gui via F9... i got a box stating

Project raised exception class 'External SIGSEGV'

at which point i could only click on the [OK] button in that box... then it 
appeared that my box was locked up but it took a minute or so and another box 
appeared titled "Assembly" with what appeared to be a list of addresses but i 
farkled things up by attempting to scroll the box to see what may have been 
listed and i lost the starting point that it gave me...

so, at that point, i used the Laz GUI's "stop" (CTRL-F2 IIRC) option to 
terminate the app but now i'm still waiting on Laz to come back to life... since 
it has been over 5 minutes, it appears that i'm going to have to reboot the 
system to get it back and try to go on further :?

i may try this option next... dunno know what i'll see as far as output... 
anything special i should watch for or possibly TEE to a log file??

maybe i should also mention that i'm using 4DOS for a command interpreter 
replacement, too?? possibly that could have something to do with this problem??
