You were right Rob, the path was wrong. I have F:\DOSBOX as the root directory but use
Mount F F:\DOSBOX
So I should have had
PATH F:\PALASM\EXE
SET PALASM=F:\PALASM\
Using that, the Minimize Boolean option seems to work. And the F3 now explains errors.
Next question,
Could you write the equations for mA0 and /msXTRQ for me from the attached figure.
I cannot figure out how you get more than one layer down without using brackets in these equations.

I think we have the same directory layout but I've mounted my "J drive" differently.
I have:
PALASM.EXE is in J:\PALASM\EXE
PDS files are in J:\S100
Environment variables are:
PATH=J:\PALASM\EXE
PALASM=J:\PALASM\
The trailing slash on PALASM variable is important - but you seem to have that correct.
After compiling, there is an note at the bottom of the screen about:
<F3>Help-errors
When the path is wrong and I press <F3>, I get a notice about which EXE palasm can't find.

It's been so long ago since I did that MSDOS path stuff!
Here is how I actually have my PALASM4 setup It's on drive F:
The actual PALASM.EXE file is in the directory F:\DOSBOX\PALASM
That directory has sub directories
\DAT
\EXAMPLES
\EXE
\DOC
\S100 <- my GAL .PDS files
These directories were setup that way during the install (except the S100 one).
The only PATH & SET scripts I have are:-
PATH F:\DOSBOX\PALASM\EXE;F\;"%PATH;F:\DOSBOX\PALASM4\EXE"
SET PALASM=F:\PALASM\
Does seem screwed up Rob, now that I see it.
What do you have?

Bob, I'm just learning how to use PALASM4. What I'm trying to figure
out is how to emulate in software the circuit attached here:-
Funny. I was going to follow up on this.
But first I wanted to play with some of my 'known good' Heath H89 PAL designs. To my surprise, PALASM4 didn't generate a .JED file...
Once I set the DOS PATH statement correctly, everything worked.
The executable sequence should be:
PARSE
BPP
EXPAND
BPP
MINIMIZE
PALXPT
With the path is not set correctly, PALXPT does not execute and the JED file is not created.
Can you verify?
I'll follow-up on the memory decoder question soon.
Rob.
