Hi Andy,


If nothing else works, add a few enumerated printf statements that print to
a debug file.  Each printf should print at least a number like:
  printf(fn,"%d:",4)
This way once you close the program you can go to the debug file
and see where your program last encountered a printf statement like this.
Of course you need to append the file rather than keep it open or
some of your printf's wont printf.

You could also try my EuDebug program that runs Eu programs in
debug mode.  It's a little dated already however so if you are
using some more recently added Eu functions it may not work.


Take care,
Al

E boa sorte com sua programacao Euphoria!
