Greetings,

    I don't know if this has been reported a thousand times,  but
it  just annoyed me and I want to share my dispair with you. This
code crashes, when compiled with Amiga Inform 6.03:

-------------------------------8<----------------------------------
Constant Story "TEST";
Constant Headline "^An Interactive Skeleton^";

Include "Parser";
Include "VerbLib";

Object Blank_Room "Blank Room"
  with description "An empty room with a picture."
  has  light;

Object grond "Picture of Grond"
    with
        name "grond" "picture",
        description [;
            "This is a picture of Grond the Magnificient",
        ],
    has scenery;


[ Initialise;
  location = Blank_Room;
  print "^^^^^Welcome to the test...^^";
];

Include "Grammar";
end;
-------------------------------8<----------------------------------

    The problem is the comma at the end of the print statement in
the  description routine for the picture. I know, its a type, but
it caused a full hour of searching and  debugging,  as  no  error
message or somesuch is generated. It simply crashes the compiler.

CU,
Olav

C++ was invented because Vogon poetry wasn't destructive enough.
