1. bad problem
I've noticed that everytime that I leave an EU program running (i.e. mike -
nz's editor in particular) and my monitor goes into sleep mode, I can't wake
the it up and have to hardware reset and reboot(even ctrl-alt-del is dead).
Without it running, wake-up works fine and does so over several days.
any Ideas??

I had this same problem with another application a few months ago, and found no
solution for it, but i suspect it caused by quick loops in the code, that for
some reason
the code doesn't deal with the OS grabbing the cpu back. Try putting some
sleep(0)
into the source after every "while" line?
The code i was running was a internet app that used EInetLib_full.ew, but i
switched
everything over to tcp4u before i thought of this possible solution. My monitor
was
going to sleep, even tho all bios and os settings said "no sleep", and on
wakeup, i
discovered the *entire* puter was asleep, the clock had not been updated, the
internet
connection was off and no net application knew about it, and no code had been
running anywhere on the puter.

3. Re: bad problem
The lockup when my monitor goes to sleep and can't be awakened is not the
only lockup issue. I've discovered that the program I've been working on,
customer file maintenance, that all have been helping me with, will also
lock up my telephone answering system which will answer the phone after 3
rings. If I kill my ARF020 program the phone system will immediately pick up
the line. I will certainly like to find a solution to this. What could EU be
doing (or I'm doing) that could cause this??

4. Re: bad problem
I've isolated the problem. When I launch my program ARF020 using mike
carroll's editor my system does not lock up. When the same program is
launched from mike's editor (the one written in eu, sorry I don't know this
mike's last name) the system will lock up as previously mentioned. I can
still select other programs from the task bar and they all will run fine.
Just this monitor wakeup lock, which is severe, and the telephone software
can't answer the phone...I hope this will give someone and idea of what's
going on so I can fix it...
..thanks... george

Have you tried running the system resources monitor while doing this?
It might prove interesting.

7. Re: bad problem
I found a couple of system tools (resource meter, system monitor) in the
accessories/systemtools and the cpu usage was less than 10pct and the
resoruce meter said 77+ pct resoruces were free...

On Win98 it's Start/Programs/Accessories/System Tools/Resource Meter.

grab a copy of everything these guys have to offer.
they're free utilities for TCP/IP scanning, file monitoring,
process exploring, registry monitoring, etc..etc.
I like the process explorer because it will show all of
the running processes on my machine and let me kill
any of them, if I see fit.
If Im not mistaken, they also have a application explorer
to show/dump memory, in otherwords, they have some pretty
cool stuff.

Let the programs run for a while, and watch the resources.
When running Mike'e editor along with other Euphoria programs, mine
goes from 89% free down to 40% in a few hours. But only sometimes.
It's unpredictable.

It would be important to find out whether *any* Euphoria program does this,
or just your ARF program. Try running something substantial such as Judith's
IDE and see what the phone does.
Regards,
Irv
12. Re: bad problem
Irv,
I ran Judith's IDE from Mike - nz's editor and it did the same thing, so
it's not probably an ARF issue.. as soon as I exited the IDE the phone
software picked up the phone. I also ran a couple of the example programs
and the same thing occurred...

13. Re: bad problem
Irv,
If I am in edit mode in mike's editor all works fine. It's when I click
the 'execute' button and launch a program it must lock up some resource
needed by the phone software and the monitor wakeup software. I've no idea
what that could be...

I had exactly the same problem as George with a Morfit
sample I converted from C to Eu. I could leave the
original Morfit exe running all night and my computer
would happily wake up. My Eu conversion (which I
could swear was a plain, simple conversion) simply
wouldn't come out of sleep. In the end, I switched off
the "sleep" in Windows (and the bios from memory).
I wonder if translating to C and then compiling to exe
might fix it? Back when I did the Morfit sample we
didn't have the translator.

15. Re: bad problem
In addition to my previous reply, I also *think* that
the refusal to wake up also occurred when bound as an
exe ie. not run from my editor (which was MEdit).

16. Re: bad problem
Well, I've tested a lot Mike's editor (the eu4 one) and I think
there're still some memory leaks on it. Maybe that could be the
problem. Also if your're running win9x it's innapropiate to leave it on
during the day without a simple reset, it seems that's not ready to do
such things, and makes the whole system slower until a reset. I didn't
have this problems with NT or Linux.
When I got back to my city I'll try to watch for some bug on the
editor.
Hope this helps,

17. Re: bad problem
Just to check, I executed ARF020 directly from a dos prompt (exw arf020) and
the phone software works fine...

(That's a relief)
So, it seems that something either within the editor, or the fact that it
calls another program (system or system_exec?) must be the problem.
At least in your case it seems to be repeatable.
Try writing a small windows program with hothing but a button to exec your
ARF020 program, and see if it kills the phone.
Let's hope it doesn't, because you may eventually want to be able to call
other programs from some main program.

19. Re: bad problem
I've not done this yet but here is what I did and it did kill the phone..
I ran this directly from a dos prompt
include win32lib.ew
-- create a control in the window
constant
TheWindow = create( Window, "Close Window", 0, Default, Default, 200, 100,
0 ),
CloseButton = create( DefPushButton, "Close Window", TheWindow, 40, 10, 120,
30, 0 )
-- tell Windows when to do the action
onClick[CloseButton] = system_exec("exw d:/euphoria/training/arf020.exw",1)
WinMain( TheWindow, Normal )
I didn't get a chance to click the button but it killed the phone
anyway....Does this mean we have a problem with EU??

I don't think you can set an onClick[] event that way.. AFAIK, it needs a
routine_id. Besides which, system_exec is a function, and returns
success/fail code,
so what your progam is doing is calling system_exec on startup, and
assigning the
return value to the onClick event.
Pretty much guaranteed not to work.
Try this instead:
-- code generated by Win32Lib IDE v0.10.5
include Win32Lib.ew
without warning
----
-- Window Window1
global constant Window1 = create( Window, "Window1", 0, Default, Default,
400, 300, 0 )
global constant PushButton2 = create( PushButton, "PushButton2", Window1,
52, 16, 90, 30, 0 )
----
procedure PushButton2_onClick ()
atom ok
ok = system_exec("exw d:/euphoria/training/arf020.exw",1) -- try zero, also
end procedure
onClick[PushButton2] = routine_id("PushButton2_onClick")
WinMain( Window1, Normal )

i ran your version and it killed the phone. Arguments of 0 and 1 made no
difference...

This doesn't use the resourses,, it's still a problem with 50% free on my

Good suggestion. Since George is the only one who has a repeatable
test for this fault, we'll let George do it.
If this is successful, it may provide an answer to some other puzzling
problems.

24. Re: bad problem
I can't try shellExecuteEx. The doc does not describe the parameters nor
give an example. If you can describe them to me I'll give that a try also.

I've got an Energy Star monitor and it wakes up anytime Eu programs
is running. But sometimes I got the same problems with another programs.
This is not problem of Eu. There is a problem with APM. Try to update
your BIOS and Win drivers. Also look in BIOS and try to turn off some
APM features.

Martin
26. Re: bad problem
I might agree with you except that the issue with the modem has problems
also and without EU I have no problems at all. I'll see if there are any
updates to the bios..

That's not it either, i suspect, since the clock is not supposed to be put to
sleep with the monitor.

28. Re: bad problem
I can confirm Martin's observations. I too have an Energy Star monitor and
it also used to lock up my machine when it went to sleep. I went to the BIOS
and the Control Panel's power settings and made sure the monitor would not
go into any sleep mode. There has been no troubles since then.
