Error during save (Fatal) -You cannot save the information which your program has generated. This can be caused by several different reasons but one of the most common causes is that you have tried to Build a module that is too large for the available memory space. -If the error is caused by a lack of space you can either delete some of the files which you no longer need on your current disk, or insert a new floppy disk to take the output from your program. You should then be able to rerun your program and save the information given by it.
