I think, Marcel, you provided some input here didn't you, but I cannot find your replies.

Re: [ql-users] Curious behaviour of Boot Program
Quite right and apologies.
I am running this on QPC2, my Aurora machine does not give this problem.
Incidentally, I have found that Abacus does work with 9Mb of memory but
that is because I am only using 16MB total.
The only program I use extensively is Archive because I have a program
that prints envelopes (A4, A5 and DL) on an Epson 740. I found that it
would have been useful to count days which abacus does which is how I
found the problem.
Many thanks
Peter

I presume you mean 2.35 !!
What hardware are you running this on? Is there any reason why you
are not using Xchange as that is by far the better program !

I wonder whether it is using up too much free memory - what version
of Abacus are you using and on what system??
You should really use the Pointer Environment commands which
specify
the amount of memory to be set aside for Psion programs (sure
someone will remind us all here) or at least set aside some memory
by setting up a RAM disk before executing the programs.

After the failed load, removing the job through QPAC2 and jobs
shews that not only has Abacus loaded but there are two to her

Abacus.
I am using ERT HOT_LOAD for all three calls.
Can anyone shed any light on this, please?
It would help if you said what the error is!

Tony I would be looking at Abacus set-up; is it looking for a file and cant find it, Archive and Quill maybe set-up properly and load the file ( driver perhaps) which abacus can then find if it's fired up after them ? all the best - Bill ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
