If you delete that line of the input file, the program is parsed successfully.


Ah yes, the good old "Ctl-Z" character to mark the end of the file, 
followed by a bunch of random characters, to the end of the disk sector.


The M-100 knows not to go any further after the Ctl-Z but most file 
utilities don't know that, so the first thing I have to do to clean up 
the file is remove that junk and Ctl-Z.

I was curious about that.   

I could easily modify this utility to deal with a control z.I'll probably 
post an update to MTVarConcor along with the other two I recently developed 
(MTLineRef and MTRenum).   I'll try to do that before the weekend.

Methinks it would be admirable goal for the programs to accept anything that 
the M100 accepts.

I was able to reproduce the crash and ran it through gdb.

The last line of your "Eliza.bas" file seems to make line 100 of the code very 
unhappy.
It seems to be an 0x1a character and then a bunch of question marks.

If you delete that line of the input file, the program is parsed successfully.=

Right you are! The EOF problem; I should have looked a little more carefully.

Thanks for the tip, and thanks to Lloyd for the program (and Mtlineref) !
