 40 PAUSE

 If this program is executed via EX from Sbasic it works fine. However,  
 try
 the same from Qpac2 and the only thing that gets printed is the version
 number. Please confirm.

 Ive tried it with Qpac2 V1.45 a and b (dont know what the official
 sub-version numbers are), with the same result. Everything appeared to be
 working as expected in the setup I had with SMSQ/E V 3.12 (but so much  
 has
 changed since then that it is almost impossible to revert to check!)


I have tried this too and can confirm it on my copy of QPC2.

You can EX the BASIC version without problems, but not the compiled  
version from within QPAC2 - wonder why??

Ah strange, this works here!

I'll try to find out what happens.

OK, this is due to an older version of QPAC2.

With the newer version I have here (length : 38132 bytes for the english 
version) this works as expected, with ancient versions the error described 
above arises.

Please upgrade.

Hi Per,
 
 Could you send me a working version of the Qpac2 file please?
 

You already have it, that is what I sent you in my earlier email (not any 
ROM...)

All the best

Indeed it is. I was so sure I had corrected that.
OK, I'll release a new Aurora version tomorrow.

Ive been fiddling with this nonsense all day to try to get some work done. 
Would someone be so kind as to send me a working copy of Qpac2 v1.45+. (I am 
a licensed user!)

TIA

Either the copy I've sent you a few days ago works or none will.

Then none work. Just to make sure I saved and re-installed the one you 
emailed me and tested the program described in my initial mail, ie

10 REMark Test for HOME_DIR$
20 :
30 PAUSE 5: PRINT#0; HOME_DIR$, HOME_FILE$, HOME_VER$
40 PAUSE

What works and what doesnt:

EX test_bas and test_obj both work as expected
Executed via Qpac2 Files test_bas is fine but not test_obj

My FileInfo2 and other stuff has not changed recently.

According to Wolfgang Lenerz, to whom I sent copies of both the compiled 
proggy above and the versions of Qpac2 I was using (both 38132 bytes long):

 OK, this is due to an older version of QPAC2.

 With the newer version I have here (length : 38132 bytes for the english
 version) this works as expected, with ancient versions the error described
 above arises.

 Please upgrade.

Now what can I try?

 What if you only boot with 3 things: qpac2, qlib_runtime (if not
 linked in) and then try to start the _obj?

 Otherwise I cannot even begin to imagine why it shouldn't work for
 you. I checked different scenarios myself with the files I send you
 and I even re-checked the code, there shouldn't be any timing issue or
 anything like that.

 Now what can I try?

 Perhaps one more thing. While the test program is still running enter

 print home_file$(jobid('jobname'))

 and see what you get. Other than that, I have not the slightest clue
 what's going on.



OK just to add my two-penneth worth (if only Multidiscover and the CD-ROM  
were as easy to fix)

I had the same problem - downloaded v1.45 of QPAC2 from Jochen and it now  
works - looks as though there might be more than one version of QPAC2  
v1.45.

The only thing is, is that when I updated QPAC2 using Update in  
MenuConfig, the settings for the mouse wake up speed etc (the whole Sysdef  
menu settings) were corrupt - they were all set to CHR$(0).

Odd.

Actually there were 2 versions of v1.45. But as home-support was part
of v1.44 both should work equally well in regards to the home thing.
Apart from that, all qpac2 releases solely originate from me, so Per
definitely got the right one.

You have menuconfig 3.36? I think there was a bug in older releases.

Yes I have menuconfig v3.36 - hmm.  Using it to directly configure the  
settings is fine (and update has always worked on QPAC2 in the past), just  
this change from v1.41 to v1.45 of QPAC2

The details are a bit fuzzy in my mind, but I think the bug resulted
in a wrong menuconfig_inf, which did work but only as long as you use
a buggy version. If you learn qpac2 again it might work next time.
