1. (confused noob) How do I make the EUINC variable in XP?
I tried several things, but when I enter the console command "exwc rundemos",
it keeps saying that it can't find the win32lib.ew file. I'm not sure if I'm
entering
the variable correctly or not. I keep seeing examples with an "=" thingy in
them,
but that is not how it works on XP. There are two fields; one for the name and
one for the value. God, I'm just confused. I thought this was supposed to be
"easy".

If I'm understanding your question, you want to know how to set an environment
variable in windows xp.
1)If you have the "my computer" icon on your desktop, right-click on it to get
the popup menu.
2)click properties item at menu bottom.
3) click advanced tab
4) click "environment variables" button
5) In the Environment variables dialog there is user variables and system
variables
6) if EUINC doesn't exist in system variables add it by clicking "new"
7) In the new system variable dialog enter EUINC as variable name
8) Enter win32lib path in variable value and others path if necessary. Each path
beeing separated by a ; character
9) close all dialogs
10) close your session and reopen it.
launch cmd.exe and from there type echo %euinc% just to ensure that the
variable is correctly defined. If %euinc% is echoed to the screen instead of its
value, you have
made a mistake somewhere, goto step 1 restart again.
NOTE: if "my computer" icon is not on desktop you'll find it in the start menu.

OK, I have did what you listed, before. I'm not sure how much of the path to
include in the value field, though. Should it be "C:\win32lib" or
"C:\win32lib\Include"
or "C:\win32lib\Include\win32lib.ew"? I've tried all of them... which all fail
to work. Also, what is "cmd.exe"? I have just been doing what
the text file says to do, which is open the console, go to the win32lib
directory and enter "exwc rundemos", which of course isn't working.
It says it can't find the win32lib.ew file.
4. Re: (confused noob) How do I make the EUINC variable in XP?
OK, I guess I needed to close the console, and restart, before trying it again.
So, it seems to have found the file.
But now, I have a different problem. I got a "error code 473 unable to allocate
memory" thing.

Hello CLJ,
I never use command line programs. But from your first post I would
say you need to enter "exwc rundemos.exe", "exwc rundemos.ex" or "exwc
rundemos.exwc".
As for as your second error you should get a error report called "ex.err"
that should tell you in what program and what line number this error occured in.

No, it's not required with WinXP onwards. You would normally have to restart the
program that requires the variable/s though.

The issue is that, under XP at least, EUINC is created as a system environment
variable, so you have to restart. If it were a user variable, this annoyance
might be avoided. Can it be fixed?

In fact there is not need to restart, closing the session is enough. System
variable are common to all profiles and windows load common parameters each time
a session is open.

Uhhh I think we lost that guy.
Interesting discussion though.
With '95, '98, 2000 and XP. when ever I had a problem or some thing happened
that I didn't
understand, I would restart the computer. This usually fixed whatever. Not
always.
On that subject I was wondering if anyone could help me.
What I would like to know is, under XP can anybody run mydata.ex, eprint.ex
(both in Euphoria
download/samples) or pbook.ex (in the archives) and get it to print? Or not get
it to print.
Is it that the task simply cannot be done under XP?
Thanks,
Don Cole

Hi
My take on this.
Most dos programs will do something like
lpr textfile.txt
or
copy textfile.txt prn1
or
open("prn", "w")
or similar, in other words writing directly to the serial or parallell printer
port.
Windows xp won't allow this. It thinks you are an evil or nasty person if
you try to write directly to its hardware, and it wants to control your life
(or at least your printing habits)
Somewhere, and I even think there's a wrapper here, there are hooks within
the windows api, that take your printout, and then send it off to the various
ports,
or even the network now.
I think the trick would be to set your dos program to send its output to a file,
with another windows program to lookout for these files, contantly running,
so that its this helper program that prints the file. It then wipes out your
printed file, ready for the next one.
This program should be writable in eu. I'm not going to do it - I don't need
it. This type of program is also known as a spooler - there may already be
stuff available out there that does this sort of thing.
The problem arises with the dos programs - can you rewrite them to put the
output to a file, or is there an option to 'print' to a file?
Here is what a quick search threw up, which offers some more possibilities.
http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&q=dos+printing+in+xp&btnG=Google+Search
Hope this is a helpful pointer. Best of luck.

Hi Don,
I got interested in this to see if I could get my Vista machine to print
from the command line to a USB printer. Following a link from Google I
found this:
"In the Printer Properties page, select the Ports tab. Click the Enable
Printer Pooling box and select LPT1. When the DOS application tries to
print, it will go to LPT1. This will place it in the Windows XP's print
queue. Since there's no LPT1, it will fail over to the IP Printer port
instead."
This worked. Try it in the properties of your printer. I haven't tested
this otherwise, but so far looks good.

No, that just means that other users on your computer won't be able to
use the variable. Each shell comes with its own environment. When you
edit the environment variables from "My Computer"->Properties->Advanced,
the changes won't propagate to any currently opened shells. Note that
windows explorer is a shell, just like a command line window that you
might open up. Rebooting is certainly one way to get everything all
synced up.
You might just try opening a new console. To verify that your changes
took effect, try typing (I've put in the output I get on my system):
> echo %EUDIR%
C:\EUPHORIA
> echo %EUINC%
c:\euphoria\include\special;c:\euphoria\include\eusql;c:\euphoria\include\

16. Re: (confused noob) How do I make the EUINC variable in XP?
I'm gonna try to explain this problem one more time...
I am trying to install the win32lib thing, so that I can do GUI programs for
windows. I am following the instructions, per this install.txt file:
"Installation Instructions.
------------------------------
Product: win32lib
Version: 0.70.1
How To Install:
-----------------
1. Create a folder. This is where the extracted files will be placed.
If you wish to overwrite your existing Win32lib, you can reuse the
folder already created for that.
(example: mkdir c:\win32ib)
2. Extract all the contents of the distribution ZIP file, keeping the
folder structure intact. That means that the files in the ZIP file
need to be extracted in the sub-folders as noted in the ZIP file.
3. Ensure that the EUINC Environment Variable contains a reference to
the folder that now contains the extracted files.
Post Installation
--------------------
To verify if it all worked, start a DOS command window and enter ...
c:
cd \win32lib\demo
exwc rundemos
This should run the Demonstration Gateway program."
The problem = a "unable to allocate memory" error occurrence, when I enter "exwc
rundemos".
WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?

Hello CLJ,
Sorry as to called you a guy if you're not.
you shold get:
echo %EUDIR%
>>C:\EUPHORIA
echo %EUINC%
>>C:\EU\win32lib
I believe the include folder you don't have to set up it works automatically.
You might want to make another dir called C:\EU and put any extra includes (such
as win323lib) in there.
I guess you know how to do this by going to my computer left clicking
properties\advanced\Enviornmental Variables and you can edit things right there.

Hi CeeElJay,
it looks like you did everything right. Ok, you've still got a problem but I
don't think it is because of the way you installed win32lib. Can we try a few
things to try and isolate the issue.
Firstly, what variety of Windows are you running?
What happens when you just run exwc by itself? This is what I get ...
C:\>exwc
Euphoria Interpreter 3.1 for 32-bit Windows.
Copyright (c) Rapid Deployment Software 2007
See http://www.RapidEuphoria.com/License.txt
file name to execute?
What happens when you run this ...
exwc %EUDIR%\demo\win32\window
When I do it, I get a new "Plain vanilla window" appearing.
Ok, now CD to where you installed win32lib. Then run this ...
exwc win32lib.ew
When I run this, it pauses a bit then returns to the DOS prompt.
Next, CD to ..\demo then run ...
exwc ex01
This should display a small window titled "Basic Window: <xxx>" where <xxx> is
you Windows Logon name.
That's enough for now. These tests may help us work out what's going wrong.

You're configuration seem ok. If it was not finding some include find, you
wouldn't get that error message but a file not found message.
Not sitting before you're computer it is hard to know why you have an allocation
error!
What is windows version 9x or xp or vista?
How much RAM there is? Looking in task manager performance tab what % of it is
used?
What is free space available on hard drive?
Usually allocation error occurs because there no memory available for it.

Sorry, I'd missed where you said this before. For some reason, it's not
able to allocate memory. The most obvious possible cause of this is that
there is no memory available. I suspect this is not the case here.
Another possibility might be DEP (Data Execution Prevention). I found
some possibly helpful information from this thread:
http://www.openeuphoria.org/cgi-bin/esearch.exu?fromMonth=4&fromYear=B&toMonth=6&toYear=B&postedBy=&keywords=dep
Go to
Control Panel
System
Advanced
Performance -> Settings
Data Execution Prevention
Click "Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only"
And that is that, you must restart I think.
DEP catches Euphoria because the call_back actually just runs code, in
memory that doesn't have execute permissions, but the processors never
checked before now, turning it off makes it work still, but it really
should be fixed, HINT HINT maybe all memory allocated in euphoria
should have execute permissions by default, that would fix it.
Another poster in the thread noted that he only had to add exw.exe
(you'll also want to add exwc.exe) to the whitelist.
The errors that the other person was getting aren't exactly what you're
seeing, so this might not be the same problem that you're getting. Have
you been able to run other euphoria programs? Try going to
%EUDIR%\DEMO and run:
> exwc sanity.ex
...and please let us know what happens. This is a program that tests most
euphoria functionality, so if there is some other problem, sanity.ex will
hopefully help us to diagnose it.

Hello ChrisBurch2,
Actually your idea works.
I just changed
fp=open("PNT","w")
to
fp=open("pntTemp.txt","w")
I have to close the DOS program before I can print it in Windows.
But that's ok I can work out the details later. For now I just have to print the
d*** thing.
Thank you.

I'd expect EUINC to read:
C:\EUPHORIA\INCLUDE;C:\win32lib\Include;
ie with both folders listed. If you haven't tried this already, please do, in
case it solves the problem.

When you say "cd to win32lib", do you mean "cd \win32lib"? If so, I did that,
and entered
and entered what you said, and the response was "cannot open win32lib.ew". Also,
I tried
"cd \win32lib\Inlcude" (because this is where my win32lib.cw file is located),
and I once again
got the "error code 473. unable to allocate memory" Windows pop-up.

I'm afraid I cannot help you with that 473 error other than to suggest renaming
the directory, re-downloading and creating a new C:\win32lib to see if that helps
any. If not, while you are drumming your fingers waiting for other ideas, you
could try installing Edita:

The "plus" version also has a copy of the 2.4 pd interpreter, and you could also
try the "exw win32lib" with that for more clues.
