1. RESP: SVGA and Irv's Windoz
[SVGA]
I read somewhere SVGA 2D graphics on some 3D cards don't work properly..
Video BIOS Date: 06/20/97
VESA Support Installed: Yes
VESA Version: 1.02
VESA OEM Name: Trident TGUI96xx
Due to the recentness of your adapter and it being VESA compatible, it may not
be your card at fault. Could be monitor/drivers/win95. *Read the manual*. Try
higher modes in Win95. Start up in DOS and then try the modes in Euphoria using
use_vesa(1). Then get back to us.
[Windoz]
IRV in your Windoz DBF program I found 2 bugs.
1.) Crashed when I clicked on the Hard Drive Button.
2.) Crashed when I deleted all the records. That I was expecting.

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback! I knew about (2). I should
add a check for an empty file, or perhaps a dummy record to
preserve the file format.
As for the crash - take a look at sysinfo.dlg. In the first
function (GetHDInfo) I check for drives C and D. If you don't
have a D: drive, it crashes for sure. Probably also would
crash if your D: is a CDROM with no cd. You could delete all
references to drive D:
--------------------------------------------
global function GetHDInfo(object obj)
--------------------------------------------
object ctl,s1
s1 = DriveInfo("C")
ctl = GetByName("sys_msg")
ctl[DATA] = {Yellow &
"Drive Info:" & ltGreen,
" Drive C: " & Green & s1[3],
" Serial # " & s1[1],
" Label: " & s1[2],
" Free: " & add_commas(DiskFree("C"),".")}
Update(ctl)
Draw(ctl)
return obj
end function
A more elegant way to handle this would be to check for all
possible drives, plus if there was a disk in each (cd-roms),
but that would add lots of code. Maybe someone would like
to write a library to return a sequence of drives and related
info? Or maybe all the hardware info - call it hardware.e?

I have the same problem when I click the HD button.I have 4 drives
installed: A, C, D ( a virtual disk of 2 MB) and E (the CD-ROM).
What can I do?
