1. Archive Viewer
All,
I downloaded an Archive Viewer (acread.zip) from the archive by Tony Steward,
but when I try to run it, I get the following message:
C:\EUPHORIA\include\compat01.ew:49
insertLVColumn has not been declared
insertLVColumn(id,index,mask,fmt,cx,text,iSubItem )
^
Is this because I have the 0.60.6 version of win32lib, where Tony's program
seems to be using 0.55.1 ?
If so do I need to get ALL the include files from an earlier version of the
win32lib program and place it in the directory I have Tony's program in?
If that is the case, then it was a BAD idea on my part to move all of the
include files from win32lib into the Euphoria\Include directory wasn't it?
Thanks for any input or help on this situation.
Later.

No problem. I wish all questions were so straightforward.
If you have old programs like this, I suggest putting a copy of the
win32lib version they work with in the same directory as each.

MrTrick,
Thanks for the reply, I removed the win32lib includes from my euphoria/include
directory, of course that broke most of the other programs that were using
them. I found an older version of win32lib, but it was not the one used by
the archive viewer and there was still some issues with some routine names
and such.
It would be much easier if the author of a program would include the win32lib
include files their program uses in the zip file they create. Then if I
already have them, I can just delete them from there.
It's not such a good idea to put programs out there, then say if you want to
use this program you have to download these other files, only to find out that
those older files no longer have a link on the authors web site that created
those files, because they are considered old, and not useful anymore.
I better shut up before I get on a soap box or something.
By the way, I just downloaded another persons archive viewer to use, a lot
less hassles that way.
Later.

Um, I didn't actually suggest that!
If you have a file in your current directory with the same name as a
file in the include directory, and you "include $filename", it will
get the one in the current directory.
So, it's safe to leave win32lib in your include directory, and if you
have a program that needs an older version put the old win32lib in the
same directory as the program.

Which version does it need? Perhaps Derek can shed some light, or the
author of the archive program.

It would be, but it would make all the zip files much larger... it's
not always worth it.

That's true, but the larger projects often have the older versions on
their own websites.

Sorry, the soap box is already being used by another group.
