Golded problem

[wurzel]

Hi all,
I'm not sure if anyone can help, but I can't run Golded any more.
Running Snoopdos, I find that it is trying to use Arexx to Findport Golded.1, but it fails.

I re-installed it, but still it looks for Golded.1. I have Rexxmmast running from my startup-sequence.

Any suggestions?
Thanks,

[Dietmar]

That doesn't mean anything, the starter just checks if a GoldED task is running, this kind of "failure" in the snoopdos log is normal. There must be another reason: a missing library, not enough memory or stack, missing assign, or a version mismatch between GolDED and starter and/or afc.library (do not leave an ed from a different GoldED version in C: and never place GoldED-related libraries in libs:).

Hi and thanks for taking the time to reply.

I recently had a hard drive problem and had to re-install everything again, from my backup drive. It may be possible that some libs are not as they should be.

However, checking the version of afc20.lib (3.3) and ed (3., would that be a problem?

Other than that, I have not copied libs from Studio to Libs and I only have the GoldED6 CD to install from.

Might it be an idea to uninstall, then re-install it again?

Thanks again.

Ugh. GoldED AIX was available for free last year, didn't you download that? That would only be three years old

As to your problem, I can't help you with so little information. Uninstalling and then installing again might help but so might looking at the Snoopdos log (again) and identifying the real problem.

Can't say in retrospect. The rule is: don't mix and match files from different versions. Some users still have an old ed (starter) on their system after upgrading to a new GoldED. That would be a problem.

Hi Dietmar,

Unfortunately, I missed the announcement about GoldED AIX, so  I didn't download it.

GoldED 6 works for me, I only have just learned to write html and I don't do coding. It's a nice package

Thanks for your time, I will uninstall & re-install & try again. Snoopdos didn't really give any clues as to what's wrong.

Thanks for your time.

... yet? HTML is the door to CSS and Javascript, Java, PHP, Perl, cgi and all those other net languages. It will be hard to avoid coding. When you start with PHP, give Cubic a try, it makes life easier.

Well, problem solved - I uninstalled Goded then re-installed and everything works again.

And when (if!) I get to PHP, I will certainly look at Cubic again

Thanks for the help, it's appreciated!
