Figure 5–3: Compiler Results dialog box

The dialog box displays messages about the status of the compilation. If you do not choose Options Show Status, the Compiler only indicates when the compilation completes. If you choose Options Show Status, however, the Compiler displays all messages generated during the compilation. For example, the messages state whether a file compiled successfully or whether it failed, and if so, on what line. Other messages include notices of incompatible CRC, and so on.
