- Hi all...
-
- Several days ago, I tried to access the PC-SAS fonts library, using
- the standard PROC GDEIVCE C=SASHELP.FONTS command. While this normally
- worked fine, this time SAS hung up on me, and I had to reboot the machine
- to break the lock. It turns out the anything using PROC GDEVICE hangs,
- and leaves me with some garbage files in the SASWORK subdirectory.
-
- Figuring I coorupted osmething in BASE somewhere, I tried re-installing
- from source disks. However, after getting through the prompt for screen
- driver, I get the following error message...
-
- ERROR: Unexpected failure in call to hxopen().
-
- Has anyone ever seen this before? As far as I know, nothing has been changed
- at the hardware end, or in the PATH. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
