General Questions / Re: Any fix soon for IWB file ...
Last post by billhsln - February 04, 2024, 08:02:24 PM
I also wonder if it could be something to do with the difference between Win 10 Home vs Win 10 Pro (I run pro).  I haven't had any problems, but since I want a new laptop (smaller and less weight, but more ram and faster), I really need IWB to work.  I seriously have at least 15 programs that I use daily for work (IWB using ODBC connection to an iSeries).  Then there are all the other little utilities I use for various things.  I really don't want to have to learn another language, especially when IWB is such a great and easy language to learn with a great bunch of people who we can go to for help.  Each of us seems to have a different skill set, which is great because we can help each other out.  We also have a forum which we can use as a reference when we forget how to do things.

I think 2.09 is prior to Sapiro's changes.
Gives me another looking point.

General Questions / Steve Boothman's Control Pak
Last post by Brian - February 04, 2024, 08:05:18 AM
Does anyone have a copy of Steve Boothman's (bevets) Control Pak? I have it installed, but I think mine must be a bit out of date, as I have run into problems in programs running some of his code - some of the calls are not supported in my version. Send me a PM if you can help

Many thanks,

Brian

I know that Bill H would like to buy a new Laptop with Windows 11 on, but he daren't do it in case IWB doesn't play ball. He writes a lot of utilities for his work with IWB. And I also would like a new Desktop . . .

I have already sent a PM to Bill telling him about my results.

Thanks Larry.
Since I posted my question I have been experimenting with the different versions of IWB:

I have downloaded and saved all the versions of EB and IWB since I first purchased EB.
So what I did today was first to uninstall the latest IWB version (3.05) and delete all tracks of it on my win10 tabletop,on which IWB first started to crash when I tried to load in source files in the editor.
Then I reinstalled version 3.05 without any luck. I repeated this for all the 3.0x versions, but with the same result.
Then I installed IWB v.2.09, and things seem to work as normal. Have been loading and compiling most all the examples that came with the package plus a couple of my own programs. And everything works as intended.

Then I did the same with my Windows 11 laptop, on which IWB never worked as intended. With the same good result.

So while we wait for Larry to do the hard work, maybe version 2.09 can be made avalable for those that have not saved it and have problems with version 3.0x?
As far as I remember the differenses for us users were minimal, so maybe v.2.09 can help reducing the problems. At least it did for me.

Egil

I am working on it but slowly.
Need to update some of the code it relies on.
Problem is that I need to boot an xp version and migrate it to a later version of windoz.
Problem there is that at each step I need to recompile with later version of vscode.
At each step new errors appear.
I am not a Windoz person and I am running it in Wine on Linux.

Enough of my issues. I am working on it.

General Questions / Any fix soon for IWB file load...
Last post by Egil - February 04, 2024, 05:18:29 AM
I wonder if we can count on a quick solution to the file loading problems with IWB. I am afraid that this waiting in the unknown will result in losing interest in IWB, and users switching to other programming packages.
At the same time, Emergence Basic works perfectly well on machines that crash IWB. So sitting here wondering what the difference is in the source code for loading files for the two packages. But only those who sit on the source code can find out, but they have so far been rather silent. This worries me a lot.

Hi,

Slight adjustment to how the program is calculating the re-ordering of a prescription. Noticed that some re-order dates weren't being changed to red in the Listview. This one-line change does the trick. You will have to re-compile, though
