For one, 'without trace' seems to have no effect, and printf seems to bomb if the last argument is an atom. More important, however, is that I've got a program that crashes like no other Eu program I've ever written/translated. The program's based on EuCOM and EuSQL. It runs beautifully interpreted (bound or unbound). Translated, everything runs fine until I begin filling in cells (I'm using the same ActiveX control as in the demo), using IDispatch::Invoke to call methods TextRC / NumberRC. Even though the calls to Invoke return 0 (which indicates success), the translated code seems to think the return value is an empty sequence. At least that's what '? ok'-->'StdPrint(1, _ok, 1)' prints to the screen. These are not the first calls to Invoke, BTW. Then it goes into my error reporting code, and the return value is printed as zero. After a few calls (sometimes on the first one, sometimes after 10 calls) my computer completely locks up (sometimes I get an exception that pops up, sometimes the blue screen of death, sometimes nothing). After I've rebooted, ctrace.out and another debug file that I've been writing to are completely empty--which they weren't before the crash. I'm not quite ready to throw my hands up and send stuff to Rob, but I'm getting close. ;) Has anyone else had strange experiences like this? Matt Lewis
