Hi, not sure if this will help anyone at anytime... but l've been trying
to find out why my OSX script that imports text files into QXP4.1 was
crashing QXP and Classic without any error messages - but worked fine
from time to time....
Well after a day of looking into my code for bugs - writing another
'this time 0S9' app that would run in classic mode on QXP4.1 also... and
this just did the same thing....
l worked out its something to do with the file names l was trying to
place with a alias call into QXP..
Don't ask me why but when trying to script files to import using
'Classic QXP' you can only have file names that are under 22
characters??? I didn't even think this would be a problem as OS9 has a
limit of 31 characters.. it works fine if you place them by hand - but
doesn't if you script it...
Anyway - just something to remember if you have to still script a
Classic app when your in OSX ;-)
Gary.
