- Well I have just had one of the strangest errors.. The only change I made
- to my file from last
- night to tonight is changing the message in a SendMessage from
- WM_PAINT to WM_FIRST + WM_PAINT, and now my Borland C++ OWL program
- bombs with a "floating point error, square root of a negative number."
- Funny thing is I am not using the sqrt function anywhere in my source
- code. It does this when it tries to create a window, not even close
- to were my SendMessage call is. Of course I can't run the debugger
- as my screen gets all fouled up. So now it is time to get that problem
- problem fixed.
- This morning, I tried calling borland but did not get through.
- However I was able to download a patch file tdebug.dll from their bulletin
- board. My question is whether I should use this patch file; it is dated
- 4/92 whereas I have the latest ( I think ) upgrade for the AppWorks 3.1, which
- has a tdebug.dll in the /bin directory dated 6/92. I have a Trident chip set
- on my SVGA card and cannot run Turbo Debugger without my Windows screen
- getting all fouled up with horizontal lines. Any suggestions??
