Re: Could not open hla.hw

So tantalizingly close and yet I still can`t say "Hello World". I`ve

when I enter "hla hw" at the prompt, I get a message "Could not open
hla.hw". I know it`s simple but I`ve been trying to fly with this for
a while now and could sure use some help. -v option informs me that
I do get to the point of using the parser....
"using command line [hlaparse -v -sm -test "hw.hla"]
then after public domain and version statements I get
"-t active"
"File: hw.hla"
"Output Path: "" "
"Could not open hw.hla"


............Anyone? Thanks, Plain

Are you running any security filewall software like Cisco Security
Agent? I've seen this problem in the past because CSA doesn't allow a
program to invoke cmd.exe (as HLA.EXE does) so hlaparse.exe doesn't
run.

I assume that hla.hw is in your hla directory and you're CD'd into that
directory before executing the command, right?

Try executing the following command and see if this does anything:

hlaparse -test -v -sm hw.hla

This will tell us if HLAPARSE can run properly.
Cheers,
Randy Hyde
P.S. BTW, what version of HLA are you running?
