Well, I've been struggling for the last hour just trying to get MultiPSK to 
work at all!  It used to work fine, but not today.  Anybody have any idea 
what might be causing it to throw a division by zero error immediately at 
startup?

After that initial error, if you try to start it again, the program only 
goes as far as the first screen and then begins periodically tossing out 
access errors of some sort (if my French were a little better, I might have 
some clue).  You can't close the program because any attempt to do so 
invokes more of the same error.  If you use Task Manager to close it, TM 
objects that the program is awaiting user response (which, of course, it 
won't take because of the errors).  If you close the instance of the 
MultiPSK application in Task Manager anyway, it doesn't remove it from 
memory.  You have to terminate the process separately from the application. 
(That's very poor coding.  A developer should never begin any program with a 
process that the Windows system cannot terminate directly by closing the 
application itself.)

Anyway, I would be most grateful for information on curing the 
divide-by-zero.  (By the way, I had another copy of the files on the machine 
in a separate directory that's never been used before.  The same errors 
occur if I try to run the program from that copy, so it is not simply a 
corrupted file.)

Also, until I am able to run it again and see for mself, can someone tell 
me...is the FEC31 option available in the basic version, or only the 
registered version?

Thanks.
