The following from Jeff Mallett: <p> <i><blockquote> Bad news -- it crashes for me on XP in 1.3.1 (and also crashes when I tried 1.3). It doesn't crash when I use Zillions 2, which is in development, so it's a problem already fixed. <p> I'm betting the difference is that Zillions 2 has had a lot of its reading code rewritten to support parsing larger files. The XP difference is just that some machines need to reallocate memory at some point in the parsing and others don't. It's this reallocation that was causing problems in Zillions 1.3.1. <p> Your ZRF itself is pretty small and elegant (23K), but when its 28 macros are expanded it is over a megabyte and contains about 175,000 symbols. Is there any way to simplify it a bit? </blockquote></i> <p> I will look at simplifying it, but I have my doubts -- the thing was hard enough to write in the first place.
