Re: Need some help with FSM Compilation Failed

Hi Jeff,

FSM compilation errors are almost ALWAYS a command line error. What does your command line look like? Just looking at the error message it looks like you should be looking at the point on the command line that starts with "YES".

What am I missing ... What's broken ... Is it fixable or should I
trash it and start over?
