Changes to 2012.467

Posted by Robert G Laurin on September 17, 2012 at 12:42:30:

Thanks all at Signature for this new release.

Found some issues...

The DOSRW now properly works withComet32. My test program (IB16) was able to pull the paper trays configuration from the Printer Driver.

However,

The DOSRW or something will Cause Comet16 to crash ungracefully. When I tried the same test program, Comet went down and I had a hard time to restart any version of Comet afterward. I will try to document it.

Ok, I trapped the error using Comet16.467.

+----------------------------------------
| Application Error

| COSH caused a General Protection Fault in

hope this helps.

Let me know if you want the offending program source/object.

Also,

The change in the KeyLength, now being at position 31 for 3 bytes... Will cause any old program looking at the Key Size to fail.

First victim, CED. It looks for a Keylen of 07 at 31,2.

Could you make it so that Key Length remains at 31,2 unless it is greater than 100 for all IB16 programs running in either Comet16 or Comet32 ?

I can see many IB16 programs failing in Comet32.467.

In the meanwhile I will make a CED 12.01 that will handle this.

Thanks
