Ok.  I'm required to use a Windows tools which I haven't taken the time
to fully configure.  It seems that every now and them I set it up close
to correct, and it will revert back.

I did not state it correctly.  Code compiles but bad code is generated
when the text is configured below a certain address.  When the code goes
above that address, it doesn't compile and gives the below error.

I was not aware of this.  I will give it a try. Thanks.
