Greetings PageStreamAmigaBeta <PageStreamAmigaBeta@yahoogroups.com> Hi Deron, PS> A new download, PageStream 5.0.5.4 Amiga-OS3-68k, is available that you are Thank you moving to version 5.0.5.4 I completed the download just a few minutes ago. After the unpacking, the only modification I made to the 'new' PageStream5054 Made two attempts: -1- Double click the executable icon «PageStream5» where it appears in -2- Open a shell, set the stack size to 200,000 bytes, and issue the RUN command The GR never appeared, hence no report from him. Did not run Snoopy but would Sorry, but thanks for the try. Perhaps others are doing better. Cheers Don (Green Dragon) |

Hello Don, Some questions for you, and some things for you to try. First, do you know that making a copy of your previous prefs helps? Can you run sashimi in a shell and see what appears? I know you might With a copy of your previous prefs, edit the pref file and add these 2 DEBUG That should create a text file called AppDebug.txt when you run Lastly, you should be able to run MemGuard under OS4. That might help Deron

well os4 has some inbuild functionality for that. that is the debugbuffer. DumpDebugBuffer in a shell. ; Save the current debug buffer this saves the debugbuffer to disk after each start and also flushes it to for the curious - the output follows. > Lastly, you should be able to run MemGuard under OS4.

It did when I was flirting with the previous release! Sets up the MUI screen So I'll dump my user prefs and we will see what happens! Hold on! -1- From the Workbench Attempting to load PageStream5 .... appears (something like that) but disappears after 5 seconds or so. But, OS4.0 On a second attempt, we get as far as the YELLOW alert popup and then OS4.0
Tried a second time with stack at 500,000 and received precisely the same
I don't know what sashimi is so I used FIND to try and locate it. The only Sys:System/Media Toolbox Where does one go to find out how to use it? Someone else could answer this for

Attempted to run Pagestream5 from the Workbench (twice) AND found that Contents of «WorkageStream5054/UserPrefs/AppDebug.txt» lies between dotted ---------------------------- PS> Lastly, you should be able to run MemGuard under OS4. That might help Memguard! OK, I'll take a look in one of the AmiNet sites. However, I'll send this off now in the hope that AppDebug.txt will be of use.

Sorry, no luck with PgS 5.0.5.4, either. Although I can get a little further than with the previous beta. The last lines in the debug output read: WINATTR_Title 10CBF0B8 Personalize (from Personalize) (11) Then PgS crashes with Software Failure error #80000003 and the OS locks up completely - so I cannot provide the entire debug output. No personalization window is opened for me. I can see PgS has created the UserPrefs drawer, with empty Borders and Dictionaries sub-drawers. (The previous beta crashed before UserPrefs was created). I run PgS under WinUAE/OS3.9, with a stack of 300,000, both from WB and the Shell - same result. Regards, |

> Sorry, no luck with PgS 5.0.5.4, either. Although I can get a little further than with the previous beta. Running SnoopDOS I noticed that my PgS fails on FONTS:Softlogik.font and FONTS:Softlogik.otag. But I couldn't find ANY fonts in the package (PageStream5.0.5.4.lha, 28MB). I remember in version 4 there used to be a folder Softlogik/Fonts but not anymore in PgS 5. Also, the ReadMe.txt says: "AMIGA: Now includes new font MgOpen, which is a set of 16 fonts, 4 families x 4 styles. Another nice "open source" font to complement Vera!" (added in v5.0.2.10) Where do I find all the fonts? Regards, |

OK, so now we know that my installation of PgS does NOT stumble upon the font(s) and crashes elsewhere. The last line in the SnoopDOS log shows that Texteditor.mcc was loaded successfully from FONTS:mui/. I have the latest Texteditor.mcc installed so I guess this is not the problem and PgS chokes because of something else. What is the next component to be loaded after Texteditor.mcc?

They are all True Type families, if I recall correctly.

So to sum it up into a single post: I can get as far as Personalize #5 Then PgS crashes with Software Failure error #80000003 and the OS locks up completely. According to SnoopDOS, the crash follows the (successfully loaded) texteditor.mcc (latest version). Therefore, I was asking which component was meant to be loaded next, to see if the crash occurs because of that (could be an old version of a class, dunno). Regards, |
