1. Help File Maker
The *very* nice looking "HelpFileManager" program by Roland Stowasser,
which looks like it can make pretty nice looking help files using
the Euphoria Data Base, doesn't seem to work under Win32Lib 0.60.6.
When I put 0.59.01 in its folder, it worked.
It also seems to have a bug in the "HelpWindow_onEvent" routine,
which allows user to move the divider bar to see more of the help treeview;
the fix appears to be to replace:
info[1]=NULL
with:
equal(info[1],NULL)

It might help if I described better *how* it "doesn't seem to work" under
Win32Lib 0.60.6, sigh.
The program *itself* runs ok under Win32Lib 0.60.6;
it's the HELP file *within* the "HelpFileManager" program
that fails when the "Topic" menu-item under menu "Help" is clicked on,
although the Help-Topic selection works fine under Win32Lib 0.59.01.
The failure report points to:
HFMHelp.ew:568 in procedure HelpContentsTreeView_onChange()
subscript value 0 is out of bounds, reading from a sequence of length 0
at:
current = getIndex(HelpContentsTreeView)
--Judith
current -= offsetCurrent
ToCi = current
topic = ""
setText(HelpText_RichEdit, "")
rec_data = ToC[current][HelpText] --<--------- ERROR HAPPENS HERE
-- and "current" = 0
The failure apparently originally starts at:
HFMHelp.ew:294 in procedure HelpWindow_onOpen()
at:
eraseItems(HelpItems_List)
