Hi John, Yes, you are right about the problem with the file selection menu.
I've now received a new set of Easyptr extensions from Marcel Kilgus to deal with the single filename case - it seems that in current Easyptr extensions, MAWDRAW does not correctly display a single item array slice unless the array is DIMensioned 'wider' than the text it contains. As you said, the last two characters in the single filename menu were being corrupted in the displayed menu but the correct filename was returned. The issue of sorting two filename lists turns out to be a bug in the sorting routine which is caused by the shell sort routine used being designed for arrays with subscripts starting at 1. In QL BASIC, the array subscripts for a two filename list are 0 and 1. The Shell Sort routine divides the array into smaller clusters for sorting by dividing the highest subscript by two, unfortunately 1 DIV 2 is 0, so the program never manages to escape from the sorting loop, hence the lockup you described if the two filenames are not already sorted. I'm working on a new version and will upload it soon. -- Dilwyn Jones > Hi Dilwyn, > > Any progress on the file selection problems in Launchpad? > You normally get back to me so quickly, I can only assume you are > having problems with this! > No rush, as long as I'm careful not to sort 2 filename lists!
