I have been putting this off for weeks, thinking that I've cleared the problem myself, but last night I knew I was wrong. It concerns our beloved DeScribe. With older files, it behaves flawlessly (as we have all come to expect), but just lately, when I try to open a file, I get the following message: Internal error (edstyle. c:line 1048). DeScribe will exit. And it will do so, in a graceful way.... OK, I thought, it's doing this because I may have used fonts from Lotus SSuite, or something like that, that my older files had no access to, but then last night, I accessed a file that had the last access date of about 2000, and it was able to open to the first page, but when I scrolled down to Page 2, that message came up, and it completely exited. Has anyone come across this? What can I do to stop this? I have already: Changed Installed Data Directory Changed DeScribe Install Directory Run it in Windows (washed my hands afterwards) Run it in Warp3 And it still does it. Your help would be most appreciated.

Nick, I've seen your problem maybe rather seldom, or, perhaps, extremely seldom. I have a different problem: I have some 'old' files that, whenever I try to open, D goes 110% CPU, totally , in fact, my Blue Heeler catalogue, I can never open it again. somehow, what I suspect it it, nut, haven't verified as yet: I was using an Optra PS printer, I no longer have a Postscript printer; I suspect, these docs want a PS printer, I aim to install a PS driver, and try, so: perhaps your problem is linked to a missing printer driver, more than fonts let me know, Voytek Eymont SBT Information Systems Pty Ltd http://www.sbt dot net dot au/links/ phone +61-2 9310-1144 fax +61-2 9310-1118 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **= Email 3 ==========================** Date: Wed, 19 Jun 2002 15:41:47 +0900 From: nicklatarach dot net dot au Subject: Re: [os2genau] ...DESCRIBE WILL EXIT Hi Voytek et al In <20020619165815-22946-7atsbt dot net dot au>, on 06/19/02 at 04:58 PM, Voytek Eymont said: >** Reply to note from nicklatarach dot net dot au Wed, 19 Jun 2002 14:35:11 +0900 >> I have been putting this off for weeks, thinking that I've cleared the >> problem myself, but last night I knew I was wrong. >> >> It concerns our beloved DeScribe.

Here is some data: FILE CREATION DATE ACCESS DATE RESULT 1.dwp 17/11/97 18/6/2002 OK 2.dwp 12/8/2001 18/6/2002 Exit on P2 3.dwp 18/6/2002 18/6/2002 OK 4.dwp 13/8/2001 19/6/2002 EXIT 5.dwp 14/8/2001 18/6/2002 EXIT Printer changed from HPDJ 500C to HPDJ694C in May 1999 Problem didn't show itself until this year. I'll try more, and see if we can correlate. Thanks again.

I've re-created Optra PS and Optra PCL now, but, on a couple of attempts, again, D pulls 110% CPU... so, it didn't quite work as I hoped...I'll try more later ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
