-
- Greetings Esteemed THINKER's,
-
- I too have noticed certain problems with MacApp and THINK Pascal.
-
- I have put up with these problems because the Environment is so slick
- otherwise.
-
- The current problems I know of are:
-
- 1) Choosing Reset from the menu sometimes freezes the computer.
-
- Actually it does not really freeze the computer. It just seems like it. If
- you go the the place where the bug spray can used to be and press your mouse
- you will find things UNFREEZE.
-
- 2) Choosing Quit in the environment sometimes (often frequently) causes
- problems where it seems to hang.
-
- The fix for this is to click on the bug spray can and then choosed Reset.
-
- 3) Failure is not traceable. If you put a stop sign on the first line of the
- MacApp routine Failure. You can get it to stop there but if you select GO or
- command-G you will be sorry. It invariably bombs.
-
- I often use this because it is really great when you get an unexpected Failure
- to be able to walk back up the stack and examine the specific line of code that
- called Failure as well as the local variables for that routine.
-
- This is a one time thing, if you press on you will die. The only solution once
- stopped in Failure is Reset. If Reset freezes your computer try workaroung 1
- above.
-
-
- While I do tolerate these problems I am wondering why some of them have been
- around for almost an entire year.
