Bill,

I loaded the new j dll and redid the external registration with your new j.dll.

The Excel com tests now work with J805:

jopen
print jcmd("JVERSION")
Engine: j806/j32/windows
Beta: commercial/2017-04-19T23:40:20
Library: 8.05.14
Platform: Win 32
Installer: J805 install
InstallPath: c:/users/me/downloads/j/j805
Contact: www.jsoftware.com

Thanks,
David Mitchell

Thanks David for the insight.

I rebuilt the j805 j.dll again and uploaded to
www.jsoftware.com/download/jengine/j805-release/windows/j32
j_rebult2.dll

Only the typelib has changed, all other j engine source should
be the same as j805-release-a.

I tested it ok on vs2013 and vs2017. Hopefully the issue is now
resolved.

Thank you. Interesting observation.
Any chance to get that fixed/patched in J805?

Folks,

I tried some tests using Excel's com interface and j.dll from j602, j804, j805 
and j64-806, all on Windows 10.  I found these things.

1. The built-in registration with j602 ("%~dp0j.exe" /regserver) continues to 
work.  It registered j.exe and j.dll and I was able to use j.dll in Excel macros after 
selecting the JDLLServer Type Library in References-VBA Project.

2. External registration of j.dll in j804 worked fine (regsvr32 bin\j.dll).  I 
was able to use the J804 j.dll in Excel as above.

3. External registration of j805 said it worked, but JDLLServer Type Library 
did not show up in Excel.

4. I ran some Registry searches and found that with j602 and j804, there were a 
set of keys created starting with this ID:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{21EB05EB-1AB3-11CF-A2AC-8FF70874C460}
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{21EB05EA-1AB3-11CF-A2AC-8FF70874C460}
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\TypeLib\{21EB05EB-1AB3-11CF-A2AC-8FF70874C460}
that defined the JDLLServer Type Library and JDLLServer.

5. In J805, the Registry keys that were created by the registration process for 
JDLLServer Type Library were these:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\TypeLib\{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}
which were not seen by Excel.

6. I tried the following grep's in the various bin directories:

C:\Users\me\j602\bin>grep -i 8FF70874C460 *
Binary file j.dll matches
Binary file j.exe matches

C:\Users\me\j804\bin>grep -i 8FF70874C460 *
Binary file j.dll matches
Binary file jqt.exe matches

C:\Users\me\Downloads\j\j805\bin>grep -i 8FF70874C460 *
Binary file jqt.exe matches
(no j.dll)

C:\Users\me\Downloads\j\j64-806\bin>grep -i 8FF70874C460 *
Binary file jqt.exe matches
(no j.dll)

So it appears that starting in J805, the J dll no longer has a non-zero UUID 
for registering j.dll.

I need a functioning j.dll for serious work/calculations and would prefer not 
to use a beta version but the latest stable release. Or is j806 beta considered

Robert,

coincidentally I had the last Windows update just one hour ago; but
the problem was there before and after.

I am presently traveling and have no access to any other computer
than my notebook; thus I can not try to replicate my problem on another
machine.

(I am using VS 2017 Enterprise on an English Windows 10 an a
ThinkPad P50 Xeon machine to develop an app that connects to J DLL Server.
Had 804 so far but would like to switch to 805.)

Is anybody successfully using the 32 bit 805 DLL Server from VS in a
.net application?

Herbert,

This may not be related at all, but is this recent?  I read that
Windows 10 had the Creative update pushed on it in the last couple of days
and if it was like the last time it may break some things. Not sure why it
would affect 805 and not 804. ;-)

When I do the same with J805, no type library is registered.

Hi Louis.
Thanks for asking. I regret not knowing the answer.
An ordinal fraction is like an array in J, with minor
differences.
- Arrays have names. Ordinal fractions have numbers.
- An array has a finite number of dimensions. An ordinal
fraction has
an infinite number of dimensions.
- Arrays may have different shapes. All ordinal fractions have
the
same shape: 9 9 9 9 . . .
- Arrays have zero-origin indexing (0 1 . . .  n). Ordinal
fractions
have one-origin indexing (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9).

- Arrays have elements. Ordinal fractions do not have elements.
- Arrays may have subarrays. All ordinal fractions have
subordinate
ordinal fractions.
- Array elements contain data. Any ordinal fraction may
contain a data
element.
Ordinal fractions were invented (by me) in 1980, but have had
limited
dissemination so far. I made programs in fortran and pascal and
basic for
manipulating ordinal fraction files, but I have not managed to
do it in
J.
The programs were general, because the logic is in the data
file and not
in
the program. I have been alone doing this.
Thanks! Bo.

Great.

In case you need more complicated handling of the "gray area"
transactions, I believe they would be relatively few in
number, so
most of
the time you could do the matching efficiently, then check
for any

with returns preceding sales. For those, setting aside the
first such
return and repeating should clear them quickly.

Timing should be well under 1 second for a million records.

Bob buys 2 red pens in two separate transactions. He
