1. win v3.1 vs v4.0
I seem to have forgot, misplaced, etc, the little program to convert Eu v2.3
exw to windows version 4.0. I have all sorts of file locking errors, including
apps that crash with a "press enter" dos box that halt all other apps' access
to any drive at all. It's happening even worse when i play with urlmon.dll, just
using urlmon with an app that sleeps(120) will lock out mirc from the internet,
for instance, and that sleep is AFTER the internet file is retrieved and dealt
with.
So where is that little utility to convert Eu 3.1 to Eu 4.0?

I'm back!
I think the origanal exw does use 4.0. There is a program to convert it to
3.1 called make31.exw that can be modified to return to 4.0 if it was
run on the origanal copy, though.

Kat, do a search on the mailing list ending on Jul 2002 posted by: Martin
Keywords: 3.1 4.0
It'll tell u which offsets to change to get the desired effect, there was a
utility posted once on the mailing list, maybe you can find that too.
Btw, i thought there was a utility on 2.4 (i don't use it so i don't know).

-- caution, old stuff!

include file.e

... btw, Kat, stupid question, maybe, but how many free clusters do you have
on that partition before you start ?, tho I still think 'buggy' file name
may be causing problem...
... looking at urlmon.h, seems like a "part_of" IE, so good luck trying to
'split' that.

Thanks for looking that up for me, that's almost the code i used. Changing to
v4.0 did help one problem i have been having, but not the drive locking
problem.

It's got 11 gigs free, 5 used, and the dir listing for that "full" dir is under
2
megabytes, so i didn't look at the free clusters. It's also FAT32. And no other
running app had any problems saving to folders where they live on the drive. I
gave up getting an answer for this one too, so i am breaking up the file list
among many many folders. It's gonna be heck merging them from different
applications across all those directories, instead of a 1-to-1 merge. I am
using moveFile() in win32fil.ew to move them about, and so far there are no
complaints of illegal filenames or lengths. I am using dos move command in
another app with the same path/filename lengths (and longer), like this:
system("move temp.txt "&writefilename, 2)
and no problems there either. So i don't know what the folder file count error
is about.
