Hugh,
This is a bad and embarrassing bug on my part. I actually attempted
once previously to change the virtual console to one with a scrollbar, and
didn't
quite get it working. The fact that the error message is left in a logfile,
and that
a subsequent invocation of the translator writes out the error message from
the
previous run is a comical and sad but in this case useful bug. For a third
bug that
I'm surprised more people have not sent angry reports, these bugs seem
related
to a bug in which old Unicon logfiles get left around in a TEMP directory,
ugh!
In short: Windows Unicon needs some maintenance, and I need some help.
I might manage to work on this sometime during the summer, but I wouldn't
count on it happening without some external impetus or help coming along.
Your e-mail is some external impetus...
Regarding your asking about "is there another tool", there are in principle
three VM's
(nticonx, console only; iconx, console w/ graphics, and wiconx, Win32 w/out
console).
The problem you report is for the wiconx. If you run things with iconx
instead of wiconx
you get messages to a regular console, which might be scrollable. iconx is
not the
default for the IDE, because it pops up a new console when you run a
program, whether
it uses stdio or not.
Thanks,
Clint
