Fun telling the customer "oh it always does that.
It crashes the first time".
Windows users are used to that. So used to it that they don't question
endless screw-ups, it's par for the course. They have no ideas that
it's crap programming that crashes, computers shouldn't be doing it.
In early 'C' days I had to deliver a working program that happened to
dump core at exit. Try telling the customer the program is OK. Only
happens on your computer, not ours.
Turned out a struct definition was missing a semi-colon terminator.
Followed by page and half of comment then "main(...)" with out a
return type.
The development system had no problem with main trying to return a
60 byte structure but the custumer's machine did.
I can write a program, spend three days figuring out any
and every way a user can screw it up, set it down in front
of the user, and in three microseconds the users hands me
my lunch.
I feel your pain!
