Blocek v1.7 (Announce)

posted by Zyzzle, 30.10.2022, 23:22

> What happens if you load some file at the startup? Like "Blocek
> somefile.txt"
blocek -info program starts OK, with the PNG flower displayed. Can access file menu and exit program. When I try to load a file, blocek goes into netherworld.
blocek somefile.txt = program starts but immediate unresponsive / netherworld. The somefile.txt file isn't displayed.

> or if you just run INFO.BAT (which calls Blocek INFO.TXT)
 blocek starts but is immediately non-responsive / netherworld

 blocek becomes unresponsive immediately when after go to layout or try to change to ENG, or other language. Also can't change codepage.

> Do you use some keyboard driver?
 No.
> Do you have a write enabled C:\ drive?
 Yes, but I installed blocek to my ramdrive, which is D:\ and has ~64mb free.

> Could you provide me your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT?
 Very basic.
CONFIG.SYS
files=20
buffers=20
device=himemsx.exe /numhandles=64
DOS=HIGH

AUTOEXEC.BAT
c:\srdxms.exe 65535k,c32,d // (RAMDRIVE)
c:\mtrrlfbe lfb wc
path=c:\;d:\;

That's it. Also tried with Microsoft HIMEM.SYS XMS driver and same results as with Jepeth's Himemsx extended XMS driver. Also tried eliminatig RayeR's MTRRLFBE write-combining, and blocek has same behavior as reported.

I'll try your new 1.7b and report back if it solves the problems.
