Custom Query (27 matches)

I am not sure when this possible bug was introduced. Earlier versions wrapped the text correctly. When I originally wrote the FAT32.INF, it wrapped correctly using Newview. Using recent versions of Newview to view it and other INF and HLP files, it fails to wrap the text correcty. It makes INF and HLP files hard to read.

Trying to set up a NewView build environment with Speedsoft Sibyl (fp3). The instructions in HOWTO.TXT work as far as building the SPU files; unfortunately, attempting to add the components to the Sibyl IDE always produces a cascading series of error popups, generally starting with a message the complib.dll .

Most classes seem to load successfully, except for CustomFontDialog? and TabSet2. Attempting to add either of these using Component -> Install results in an error popup "Could not load component library 'E:\Development\Sibyl\BIN\CompLib?.dll'!", and then a cascading series of error popups saying that NONE of the custom classes can be loaded, sometimes interspersed with some register exception popups.

I can verify that COMPLIB.DLL does exist in E:\Development\Sibyl\BIN:

Am I missing some critical configuration setting that isn't mentioned in the HOWTO.TXT?

NewView seems to detect the default browser by querying the standard settings for URL objects. This works for the browser executable but additional command line options that are specified in the "Parameter" (for a German eCS, is that "Options" in English?) entry field are ignored.

Working around this probem by using a CMD file is impossible since NewView is incapable of starting the CMD file. All I get is a black screen for a short while and then it switches back to the WPS and nothing happens.
