I downloaded the win32lib tutorial but I keep getting an error message when i
try and run it. I took a screen shot and put it on pictiger so that you could see
it:

What's wrong?

curtis,
I think you're talking about Wolfgang Fritz's tutorial?
I downloaded it & got the same error.
I think it's some kind of "win32lib version compatiblity" problem.
As a "work-around", I did the following:
I had a copy of Win32Lib ver 0.59.01 available, & I copied all the files
in its "Include" folder into the folder with the download of Wolfgang's
"WinTutor.exw", and now it runs.
'dunno what the real fix is.

curtis,
btw, there is a better/easier way to send us the error messages
in the future, than putting a screen shot somewhere (unless, of course,
the error is NOT a text message, but rather something that is an actual
graphical error which is best conveyed by a picture);
in fact there are TWO:
1. go to the ex.err file that is generated by a failure, and copy as far
down as where it mentions the actual name of the program that failed,
and then paste that into a message in this forum;
2. or, in the dos box with the error message, click on the dos icon at the
upper left corner, then under "edit", click on "select all", then when
everything disappears, click again on the dos icon at upper left, and under
"edit" click on "copy"; then copy THAT into a message here.

Howdy Dan.
First error for wintutor.exw reports, for approx line 148:
... should pass 3 arguments, not 4, so... try ...
procedure on_scroll(atom m,atom w,atom l,object whatever)
In other words, the onEvent[] routine now passes an additional parameter.
There may, of course, be other incompatibilites in some of the other demos..

Hi Wolf,
Thanks. Too obvious *now* :)
