Re: mini assembler files compatible between releases?

Hi,

The mini-asm (and also Prolog libraries) have changed since 1.0.5. Why 
don't you recompile the .pl file which has produced your .ma file 
(instead of trying to reuse this .ma). If you want the .ma you can use
    gplc -M prog.pl

Hope this helps
