I downloaded the latest CVS yesterday to see how well Clipper handles protected mode, and found that the record locking problem still exists: On a very large application, when it goes to lock a record for editing, the application hangs. On another test program with the exact same locking mechanism, it works perfectly.
What debug flags should I put in to track where the problem begins? I tried debugging everything, but the resulting log is something like 20 megabytes and I still don't know what to look for or where to find the point at which the crash occurs! Maybe I would be better off using dosdebug to isolate the moment the application freezes, but I'm even stupider in that area... I don't know what commands would show me what is going on during the application. I think I mentioned once before that the problem does not occur when I use freedos, only when I boot to the native Win98 partition. (correction... I just installed an old MSDOS 6.22 system disk and found the same lockup occurs when I boot to that OS as well). If you (Bart) like, I can put both the "good" and "bad" EXEs on a web page for downloading, but they are very large... over 4MB each. ------- Peter B.
