Fblit Problem * Solved*

[meega]

Can't say I've had such problems, older FBlit though... But I do recall that it comes early in the startup-seq, well before BindDrivers.

Are the file protection bits correct?

[meega]

Select the FBlit program's icon, and choose Information from the Icons menu, and check that the e (executable) bit is set/checked/on.

If it is not set on, then set it in the Information window and save, or type:

Protect C:FBlit +e

into a shell/cli.

(Standard arrangement of set bits is rwed, for an executable binary.)

Excellent, you have solved it. :-)

Protection bits are not necessarily preserved correctly in archives. It used to be standard practice to check that any executable files were actually set as such when you extracted your files from the archive. Readme files often told the user which files to check.

The problem was really the protection, I give: "Protect C:FBlit +e" in a shell and the problem gone.

Solved.

Edit: and a very satisfying (for me) 290th post.
