| Stephen Brooks 2003-10-06 03:52:34 | Here is the unofficial release of v4.32c before I modify the web page later this evening. (ZIP file also available). This may or may not have fixed a bug [OCAU]Badger and others have been having on some systems. However it does have a better way of checking whether the FTP transfer has worked: it actually uploads and downloads a test file, then only deletes the sent results if the test file has come back intact. Also you'll see that muon1_background has turned from a .BAT back into an .EXE stub, which runs Muon1 under windows with no console window involved. The Win98 users who were having problems with it hiding should have no trouble now. It doesn't make any sense: that's why they call it "virtual" |
| ZeonX[OCAU] 2003-10-06 04:54:31 | Hey stephen, i tried to send some results but the ftp seemed to do the same as what it used to do, doesn't seem to do anything different. It was a bogus results file so it didn't have anything in it but i wanted to see the new ftp function as i thought it might cause some trouble with the way some of the ftps permissions work. |
| ZeonX[OCAU] 2003-10-06 06:35:23 | Ok stephen i've found a few problems. 1. I let some results build up and sent them but the manual send uploads it to the v4.32b dir not v4.32c 2. You forgot to update the version var in muon because it thinks its out of date as you have put the new results.dat in the ftps. Apart from those two things i havn't noticed any difference from v4.32b. |
| Stephen Brooks 2003-10-06 07:27:24 | Oh, that was just that I hadn't recompiled manualsend.exe since the last version. I've done so now and the v4.32c manualsend is now packaged in those archives. Maybe I ought to make manualsend.exe just be a stub like muon1_background that runs off the main module, then this won't happen again. Part of the reason I unified the _cmdline and _background programs was of this compile-many-times for a release problem. It doesn't make any sense: that's why they call it "virtual" |

| Stephen Brooks 2003-10-06 08:59:03 | The upload/download test takes place in the root directory of the server where the signal.dat file is, and that has to be downloadable by muon users too, so it doesn't cause problems. It doesn't make any sense: that's why they call it "virtual" |
| Henri Valta 2003-10-06 09:20:16 | quote: Well my ftp only had 'create directory' permission for users on root. I'll add the write file permission there too. |
| AySz88 2003-10-06 10:07:39 | Hey, Stephen. I've been having the commandline window proplem here when running muon1 (with or without switches). The strange thing is, I seem to be the only one with this problem that has Windows XP (unless I have a different problem than the one you mentioned in the first post). |
| Stephen Brooks 2003-10-06 12:36:21 | You're getting the problem I had: if you start muon1 as "muon1 -b" from a commandline prompt, the prompt window won't go away because it wasn't muon1 that created it in the first place. The new version with muon1_background.exe calls muon.exe with a -b switch "silently" via the Windows function WinExec, so no console appears. It doesn't make any sense: that's why they call it "virtual" |
| [OCAU] badger 2003-10-06 16:39:09 | Stephen - still getting the problem - instant crash with any type of start, here is the dump: MUON1 executed an invalid instruction in module MUON1.EXE at 0167:0040f38a.

| Stephen Brooks 2003-10-07 02:55:06 | This file has a lot of debugging in it. It should actually spit out at least 2 files when you run it and it crashes. It doesn't make any sense: that's why they call it "virtual" |

| thormodr 2003-10-11 18:21:11 | Any progress on fixing the bug? Or is it a too much work to fix a bug for too few?  |
| Stephen Brooks 2003-10-12 06:47:32 | The main problem is that the bug appears to happen for no particular reason - could be a compiler oddity. If you re-download the v4.32c distribution, you'll find I've recompiled it to do that particular routine in an equivalent but slightly different way. I have no way of telling if this will help the problem, though. It doesn't make any sense: that's why they call it "virtual" |
| [OCAU] badger 2003-10-14 16:32:45 | ok I downloaded 4.32c again, muon.exe from 9/10/03 9:19:34 am. looks like no joy... MUON1 executed an invalid instruction in module MUON1.EXE at 0167:00420775.
