Trying to print using Comet32 I get a Comet crash.
On Windows 7 it says to go check the "C32Errors.log" on Windows Server 2003 it just goes away (there goes Anywhere...)
A comment, can't the Comet (16, 32, Servers) have log files that are consistent with the rest of the Windoze universe and use CR/LF everywhere? Half the CR don't have LF and I use NOTEPAD for logs, I hate WORDPAD more than I hate Windoze...
Anyway.
Using latest of everything, here's the crash report from the log. Since Comet32 is crashing I have no clue what is happening. Plus the fact that I am quite far from the user site.
Here's the WORDPAD error dump.

I'd love to provide more information. The only thing I can state, this program has been in production for 10+ years.
Basically the F6-Print option in my program does this:
Open a dot-txt file
Send a: File (txt) CTL='@01@' to allow TABs thru
Read the text file and put every paragraph in a OUT$(8) * 126 buffer and uses DRAWTEXT in Windoze printing. Repeat 'till eof.
I tried this on Windows XP using Comet32 in the Montreal office and it worked.
I looked on Remote Windows 2003 server, could not find the C32Errors.Log when it crashed.
Each file can be a maximum of 1MB in length Uploaded files will be purged from the server on a regular basis.
