I left a program running and when my system went into suspend, nothing would make it recover but a reboot. I don't THINK it's the program (the problem seems to be unique to the system suspending) and it doesn't happen with an equivalent c++ program. The computer also doesn't seem to crash as such.....it just wont wake up!! This problem is consistent. It happens every time my computer has a snooze with this euphoria program running. Any clues? > If I were going to take a wild, off-the-wall guess, I'd say that the suspend feature is probably undercutting the CauseWay DOS Extender, but this would only apply if it locks up under ex.exe and not exw.exe (I think). My other guess would be that you have a Compaq. I've seen problems like that before, and always been a Compaq bug that's caused it. > >Also, does anyone have any advice for me on whether or not I need to free memory I have allocated from within a function or procedure. Should I free the memory before the functions exits or will Euphoria do that anyway? > Yes. I'm not sure if local allocations are freed automatically at the end of a procedure (probably not), but it's a bad habit to get into to not free them yourself. You might end up doing that in a place that causes tons of problems by accident. >Thanks in advance > >Mark Brown >
