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.
