1. Menu - line underneath
I am getting a one pixel variably colored line under my menu. I searched
the archives for a possible answer, and found this topic was raised in Dec
2002, under RE: I need help.
I could not find if this issue was ever resolved, does anyone know?
I am using win XP home, and v 0.57.9 of win32lib.ew is in my
Euphoria\Include folder.
Thanks

I cannot give you the precise fix, but it has to do with the 'version' of
Windows that Eu2.3 was compiled for. By default, it assumes that you will
be running Windows 3.1. There is a special patch program that converts your
Eu2.3 exe to use later versions of Windows.
I don't have it with me, but try the archive site again with this info.

Try this URL:
http://www.listfilter.com/cgi-bin/esearch.exu?fromMonth=1&fromYear=7&toMonth=1&toYear=7&postedBy=robert+craig&keywords=windows+gui+version
It will probably wrap. The patch is at the end of the first message.

I've looked here, thank you, but still (probably stupidly) can't work out
what to download - I am running the v2.3 release, which is for the newer
windows, not Win 3.1.

Run this small program. If it prints out "0 4 0 0" then you are running the
later Windows version.
Otherwise you can run it with the -fix command line option to fixup the
exe.
------
include file.e
include get.e
integer fh sequence bytes
object void
sequence cmd
fh = open("c:\\euphoria\\bin\\exw.exe", "rb")
bytes = get_bytes(fh, 20)
printf(1, "Was: %d %d %d %d\n", bytes[8..11])
close(fh)
cmd = command_line()
if find("-fix", cmd) then
fh = open("c:\\euphoria\\bin\\exw.exe", "ub")
void = seek(fh, 8)
puts(fh, {0,4,0,0})
close(fh)
puts(1, "Has now been fixed.\n")
end if
-------------

Euphoria 2.4 alpha uses GUI version 4.0.
That should fix the problem.
No major bugs have been found so far in 2.4 alpha.
If you don't feel like installing 2.4 alpha,
you can run the previously-mentioned little program
to patch exw.exe from 3.1 to 4.0. In most cases
you won't see much difference between 3.1 and 4.0.
