I'm happy so say, you're correct. I had placed the Sample100.txt file into folder Lattices. I was going to copy and paste into new Results.dat when I had completed the next upload. Removed file, all is working correctly now other than the problem re user.txt file.
I thank you.
PS How do I send the screen shot, you requested. Pasted into a WordPad?

Looks like I might need to have another look at what happens when user.txt doesn't exist. The GUI bug you mentioned (bad Z statistic reporting) is quite possible given I changed around the particle-beam structure a few weeks ago. But:

I'd like a screenshot or the literal text of what the window said for this one. If you've put "sample100.txt" inside the "lattices" directory then this is caused by that error.

It doesn't make any sense: that's why they call it "virtual"

Another observation, plus problem.
If running GUI in Win98se at the end of processing, programme terminates, able to restart, does process though terminates each time. While processing I observe MAX Z distance = anything from -13.321 to 17.388 eg -2.318 11.034 5.234 -10.213 etc and now and again shows -1#10. MAX Z % all over the place. Is this correct?
When running the Muon1_cmdline.bat file after processing I receive a notice FATAL sample 100.txt do not have this file, and then shuts down. Unable to run GUI though cmdline at this time is working OK.
Hope this helps!

Stephen, Hoping you had a nice weekend!
I downloaded V432d, placed into new folder run muon1.exe received the following.

MUON1 caused an invalid page fault in

Did not matter what I did same result. Noticed that the software did not ask me for a user name like before. So I then placed a copy of user.txt file into folder all works fine now.
Just info for you.

I get the same:
----- setextension(0045018E:config,00450E01:txt) -----
ret=00560460:config i=6
n=0 i=6

I haven't yet tried it on my p2 with win98.

When I run the debug version, the resultant debug.txt file reads the following:

----- setextension(0045018E:config,00450E01:txt) -----
ret=005604A8:config i=6
n=0 i=6

Hope this helps...

Granted the biggest help would be to toss the machine out the windows buy something more up to date...

I tried v4.32b on an Intel machine w/ Win98 at work and it worked. It would appear to be something w/ the AMD K6/K6-2 line of processors...

Okay, that's a strange place to have a crash. The line actually reads "if (n==0) n=i;" - no array access or anything to do with memory, just an operation on local variables!!
Here is another debug version that should spit out a file "debug.txt" just before the crash occurs. If you could post what this file contains it would be interesting.

I ran the debugging version and got the same as Badger above...

ok I got 4.32b, and tried it, same sort of error.

(BTW I have 4.32 runnig fine on Win XP and Win2k server)

I tried the debugging version - this is the error message:

lcc runtime: GP fault. Stack trace

0 setextension [6] d:\sjb39\muon1\muon1.c 64

See my post in the "General Project Forum". You can now try using v4.32a, and if that doesn't work, the debugging version of it.

Hi Stephen,
OK As you can see in stats using background.exe all works fine. Another problem with the GUI is that out of the blue it terminates it self! You are correct that when I restart from autosave same funny -1.#J% and not able to use any keys.

W98SE - 2.2 Intel P4 - 768 megs Asus - 3400 VC - 160 g HD.

Well, I've managed to replicate something like Boots's error on my Windows 98 machine: it appears to happen when you restore an autosaved file (that'll be any time you quite graphical mode and then come back in) and is probably a divide-by-zero error somewhere in the routine that generates those onscreen numbers, though it could also be related to the restoring of autosave files.
Somehow, though, you've still managed to send in some genuine-looking results to the stats database.

As for thormodr's error, solving that will have to wait until Monday when I can compile a debugging version and then you'll probably be able to tell me what line and routine it crashed in from that.

I tried to run v4.32 but it crashes immediately. I tried w/ and w/o the -b and -c flags.
I am running a Win98 on AMD K6-2 500Mhz machine...
I erased the user.txt file and it doesn't get to the point of looking and complaining about the missing file.

I get the following message:
