1. help with NeilGUI
Hello everyone,
I'm doing a minor update to my NeilGUI library and I'm stumped.
I was adding/changing some code and now it doesn't do anything.
Okay, well it sets the graphics mode and then waits for
a little bit and then exits. No error message, no (ex.err) error
file. I have consolidated all my abort commands in a routine
called ERROR (). Here it is:
procedure ERROR (sequence msg)
restore_mode () -- note it uses neil.e
puts (1, msg & "\n")
if wait_key () then end if
puts (1, "Press any key to exit.\n")
if wait_key () then end if
abort (1)
end procedure
You'll notice that I'm taking extra pains to avoid this sort of
thing... but it happened anyway. I hope this is just a foolish
error with a simple solution. Does anyone know of possible causes?
I'll send you (anyone) the files if you want.
I'm just tired of staring at this code. Please don't laugh at me
if it's a silly error. :) Note that both the example programs have
this problem so it is defintely the NeilGUI.e file even tho I did
fiddle with ONE of the example progs.
later,
Lewis Townsend

First be sure that your error function is being called.
If it is then replace the abort(1) with abort(1/0) which
will cause a divide by zero error and force a dump to
an err file, then you can look in this file to see if it helps
you to find the error. I quite often insert abort(1/0) in my
code to force a dump to look for an error. I hope this helps

Hello Bernie,
I included calls to the error routine but I don't think it's even
getting that far or I wouldn't have this problem.
Thanks for the divide by zero idea, I'll try this but I don't
think it will work. Let me try really quick just to see...
Nope, no luck, doesn't help any.
Any more suggestions?
Anyone want to look at my code?
later,
Lewis Townsend

I volunteer. Send me the code. I haven't looked at NeilGUI at all.
I will definitely be a blind eye. Is this thing Windows or is it DOS?

Lewis:
Now try inserting the abort in your code at points along your
code so can force dumps and look at the variables. For
example: insert it each place that you think that you would
be calling the error routine.
Or insert it to dump just before or after a routine to
dump the variables and check the conditions.

Okay, thanks Bernie, I'll try this.
I think I can find it if I spend enough time.
thanks again,
Lewis Townsend
