.tap file code not executed

[Zoran]

It was hard to read from the attached image, it is too small (or is it my Firefox fault?).

When reporting problems, please always state explicitly:
- the compiler version you used
- which options were passed to the compiler (show the full command used when compiling)
- your operating system
Please don't get me wrong, this information helps people who are willing to help you, so you are more likely to get a useful response when you provide this info.

Anyway, I don't think that you are doing anything wrong, I tried now with "clock.bas" and the compilation failed with same output that you show.

I tried on Windows 10, ZX Basic version 1.18.0 (latest stable at the moment), using these options:

zxbc.exe --optimize 2 --output ..\clock\clock.tap --output-format=tap --BASIC --autorun examples\clock.bas

So, this example seems to have bugs.

I haven't experienced the other outcome you describe (compilation passed, but then the tap file isn't correct).
