Comments to Z80 tools

1. The mac version: The menu items <Z80 Tools\About Z80 Tools> and <Z80 Tools\Preferences> do not work. These items can be selected in other parts of the menu system.

2. When assembling/compiling; upon detection of errors; a cryptic error message is produced.
   How can I decrypt the error messages?
   Suggest: report line number and descriptive error messages.

Where are located these items ? I don't have a Mac to test so I don't know if there are misplaced menu items, these should be located under the Help and File menu drop-down respectively. Are they located somewhere else ? If possible attach a small image that shows the issue.

The console view should display the error messages in red prefixed with the file name, line number and column (if applicable) in a gcc-like style, clicking on the error message should move the editor to the affected line in the source. What error message you see ?

Regarding menu items, the enclosed picture should be self-explanatory, the menu items working and not working are indicated.

Thanks for clarifying about the error reporting.

I think the error is caused by invalid statement.

I have updated the Mac OS-X package with some changes that should fix the menu issue: now the Z80 Tools menu items should work as expected, and the duplicated items in the File menu are removed. The Help menu is no longer displayed as the only item is not shown anymore.
