Can't create error message file: ex.err
Hi all,
when there is a run-time error in an Eu program, the interpreter
normally not only produces an "ex.err" file, but also writes a short
error message with the most important information in a console window.
That's pretty nice.
In situations where it's not possible to write an "ex.err" file (e.g.
because the current directory is on a CD-ROM, or there are no more file
handles available), we would expect that Euphoria still writes the cause
of the error in a console window, no?
I recently discovered that this doesn't seem to happen.
? 1/0
Running this code snippet when the current directory is on my hard
drive, EXW.EXE 2.5 says (as expected):
| C:\temp\test.exw:1
| attempt to divide by 0
|
| --> See ex.err
|
|
| Press Enter...
Running this code snippet when the current directory is on a CD-ROM,
EXW.EXE 2.5 says:
| Can't create error message file: ex.err
|
|
| Press Enter...
OK, but what was the primary error? 
I have no information about it, since there is no "ex.err" file, and
Euphoria also doesn't tell me something about it in the console window.
I think Euphoria should display the information
"Can't create error message file: ex.err"
_additionally_ to the main error message, but not instead of it.
Regards,
Juergen
