Errors!!
__________________
This file contains some of the fixes for many of the runtime errors of L-Soft
Atlanta software. Though each system is different and may present the user
with different symptoms and errors, we have tried to provide you with as much
information as possible to correct a situation.....
Why Errors?
___________
Errors occur due to many things. The most likely cause of an error in Windows,
is a neccessary file not being found. Our software expects Windows files to be
in a Windows directory. This is done during the normal install of Windows for
you. If you have installed Windows without the usual install program supplied,
some of your files not be present, or you put them in the wrong location.
L-Soft software packages come with many files of their own, and an install
program. You MUST use the install program! If you installed it yourself, you
caused the problem already. Go back and re-install the software.
DLL and VBX?
____________
These files are the Library files needed by Windows and L-Soft Atlanta software.
You MUST have the neccessary library files for the programs to work!
Our Software come with all the files needed for proper operation. If you
downloaded the software from an on-line system or BBS, some of the files
may not be present! The most likely one removed was VBRUN300.DLL! This is the
library file for the Software Compiler we use to write the programs, and MUST
be installed in your Windows/System directory! Our Software looks no place
else for it!! BBS systems remove this file to conserve disk space, and can
usually be had by downloading the DLL itself and placing it in Windows.
The VBX files are software libraries which allow the programs to function.
The main library file for all L-Soft Atlanta software packages is L-SOFT.VBX!
This file is our "Vista Turbo Engine" and "MaxTrax" file systems. These files
allow all our software to run in a much faster pace called "Turbo Speed" and
to maintain Multi-File Handling through "MaxTrax".
LED.VBX is another library file used by most L-Soft Atlanta software and is
our "Low Embedded Disk" interface engine. This file is used to access many
of Windows .INI "information" files and to call up Windows programs through
the "Utility" button and to access API calls. If any of these are not present
the software WILL STOP!! LED.VBX is not used in database style systems since
MaxTrax doesn't need it!
Share?
______
Since we use "MaxTrax" for Multi-File handling, ALL our software require
SHARE.EXE be loaded in your "AutoExec.Bat" file. The system will corrupt if
this is not done!!! Check your DOS manual for info on setting up your file.
The correct line to add is: SHARE.EXE \F:500 \L:5100. This will insure file
"Locking" and the proper use of all your system files by our software. Failure
to add this line is the #1 cause of all Tech Support calls received, even
though we placed it on disk, and in the ReadMe file. PLEASE add it!!
Other Errors!
_____________
Other errors reported seem to be hardware related: Not enough memory, error
reading Share, Share not loaded, file not ready, not able to access this file
, Drive not ready, etc. By the way, error reading share is a hardware error
too, since we found it occured on a machine with a hard drive failure*
