I decided to break out my old A5V3 software and try to update my XBASIC scripts. Once I got my old V1.02 application working, I was going to upgrade to 4.5. It appears that the Version 3 board is mostly defunct with very few postings and no threads which deal with DLL crashes ... so I came here.
There's no chance right now that I can get the old app upgraded because I crash so frequently. Same stuff that's reported here in volume, such as A2XBASIC.DLL, A2CNTRL.DLL, both tied to MFC40 problems, and I have many, many A2CRDSYS.DLL problems. Then there's the list of A2HALT tasks which occupy my "Close Program" window.
My bottom line concern is whether Alpha Five is in decline and that perhaps I should give up on it. Many postings here report the same DLL problems I seem to have and yet the posters act like these crashes are THEIR fault, because they coded something badly on a form, a field rule calculation, and so on.
Maybe I'm naive, but it seems that Alpha Five should at least continue to run without crash and provide error messages to indicate syntax problems.
Since Alpha Five personnel don't monitor these boards any longer, I was hoping for some honest feedback from some of you.
Why all the system crashes involving so many DLLs? What can I do about these? I'm running a basic Windows 98 system and have applied the only available update which was 3.01. I hear people talk about a 3.04 patch and yet nothing is available beyond 3.01.
I would have gone to 4.5 but from the postings here, DLL crashes are still abundant. I'm reluctant to pour more money into this and I certainly won't pay Alpha personnel $120 an hour to see if they can get their product running.
Any assistance or advice is quite welcome. If you're shy about telling me here, private email is fine.
Thanks to all who have heard my tale of woe .... Sam
