When, oh when, oh when will I learn?? I just had this problem with YIN not
so long ago... i hadn't tested it on an empty folder (zero bytes)... and it
would bomb under those conditions... here we go again. I didn't try this
program on an "empty" news.dat. Heh. Boom. Ok, that's fixed now. On the
bright side... empty news.dat... you can't have lost or corrupted anything.
(-:
That red screen is interesting eh. It's driving me crazy. I don't know
where it's coming from! Apparently this new library/unit i've been using
has replaced the error handlers... and like you say.. is trying to do
something -- but i don't know what. I get that blank red screen whenever
there is a read/write error. If you just press enter it then ignores the
error and continues... (which may or may not be a good thing... depending
on the case). I've got to track that thing down... one of these days...
Or just write better programs so it never comes up. <-:
Anyhow, hopefully the thing works better when you have an ACTUAL news.dat
to try it on. Heheh. I have replaced the...
http://www.io.org/~tm/files/yarnpack.exe
with a new one that doesn't bomb on an empty news.dat .... (it was actually
bombing before it got to the news.dat... bombing just trying to read the
blank history.pag...) not a big deal.
Thanks for letting me know.
