Edited - removed attachment. See below for updated version.

On BigDumbDinosaur's request, I have added a page to the help file to describe some of the Kowalski editor's functions.

I am attaching the new help file here. Unzip it into your Kowalski folder and overwrite the older file.

I will incorporate this update in my next release of the program as well.

thanks!

Daryl

Looks good.

The entry for Ctrl-F2 says "Ctrl-F2 - Clear bookmark on currrent(sic) text line." That should say "Ctrl-F2 - Toggle bookmark on current text line."

Right - I forgot about the correction you sent me. I'll fix it and repost.

As reported to Daryl, it appears a bug may have crept into the Kowalski editor.

When using the search-and-replace (S&R) function (Ctrl-R), occasionally the editor will hang after S&R has been completed and an attempt is made to close the S&R dialog box. Most of the time when that happens, the task manager has to be used to terminate the program—the task manager may show the program as "not responding," resulting in all work in progress being lost.

The problem seems to be more likely to occur when multiple editing windows are in use and the editing session has been running for a while. There may be a relationship to the size of the file being edited. Also, I cannot provoke this problem running old versions (tested on v1.2.15).

I'm running Kowalski on Windows XP SP3. When the hang occurs the task manager shows no unusual amount of resource consumption going on.

This will be very hard to track down unless I can create a consistent setup where it breaks. If anyone else has experienced this issue, please post any details about it here. The Ctrl-R code is part of the MFC code and crystal editor, which I have not modified beyond adding the 65816 context sensitive help. I'll go back to the v1.2.15 version and look all the changes made. I just started a new job so my free time is extremely limited. I expect this will take some time to resolve.

thanks BDD for pointing it out!!

Daryl

I just noticed that setting or clearing bookmarks in the editor marks an open source file as "dirty," even though the file itself hasn't been changed.

I have found another location in the code that I can use to toggle the * in the window title. The old one was keying on any change to the window vs. an actual change to the file.

I'll have the update posted soon.

I also spend a little time with the other issue - lockup while editing (multiple files and larger ones open for a longer period of time). So far, I have not been able to reproduce the issue.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Daryl

The lockup, when it does happen, seems to occur while using the find-and-replace ([Ctrl-R]) function. However, it is quite intermittent and I'm not seeing a pattern of usage that triggers it, other than have multiple, large source files open at once.

I have completed update 1.3.4.4 to fix the issue of toggling bookmarks causing the file to be marked as changed, requiring a save before exiting.

Executable and sources can be downloaded from my website.

thanks!

Daryl

I think this was mentioned in the past, but don't recall it being addressed. If a macro written to accept a fixed number of parameters is invoked with more parameters that it should, assembly will fail and the assembler/simulator will crash, requiring intervention in the task manager. The attached file demonstrates this problem.

You mentioned it when you mentioned the illegal label character causing the same issue. I fixed that problem but it appears it did not fix the macro issue. I'll dig into it when I get some time.

thanks!

Ah-so! Well, at least my memory wasn't a total blank, which can be a problem for people my age. :D

The fix for the macro parameter mismatch causing the program to hang has been corrected.

The new version is v1.3.4.5 and can be downloaded from my website.
