umm... actually, it is a very good idea to use the verbose switch and
pipe the output to a file:

hla -v hlaadv >ha4.txt

Progressively enumerate these '.txt's to keep a historical accounting
of how progressively wild your coding becomes {are the number of errors
increasing exponentially?} -- seems to be strongly linked to the number
of 12 FL OZ consumed. ;-)

It is ALWAYS the case that the more information that you can obtain
from the compiler -- the better! When the compiler chokes on the code
but doesn't report this fact to you -- pretending that everything is
hunky-dorry -- you will likely be looking for a different compiler.
