A parse error occurs when you write some syntctically incorrect code: the compiler is not able to recognize what you are writing and emits an error. You can't kill them because it means the compiler cannot generate code, the only way is to avoid them writing syntactically correct code! :-) btw, this question was not djgpp-specific and is a little off topic here. There are other newsgroups for more general questions, such as comp.lang.* or comp.os.msdos.programmers (actually your question was *even more* general, concerning basic programming issues, but I don't know what newsgroups I could suggest you :-) ciao Giacomo
