I don't remember if in Solar System there were longer variables, as I deinstalled it time ago for the problem that you said. Maybe they were over 32 chars... I ask that because in my Effemerids program there are a few vars with 25/28 characters, and if they are "too long" I must cut them.

In fact by me the problem was only with Solar System (and 35 chars are also "too long to read", hi) that gave also problem with the Catalog. Astrolab 4.1 main program is running now in my calc and in emulator and I'm testing it to find other eventual issues (as my Effemeridi program). For now no crashes or slowness noted. If I'll find other problems I write in the forum... For now Program check doesn't present errors. But when Marcel will release a new version all will be better ![]() EDIT: I tried to install Solar System again: after the installation Catalog in too slow to start, and then it seems to be "sticked" on top; removing Solar System (but not Astrolab itself) all become ok. Solar System is based on Geometry and when plot some ellipses it has effect on Catalog (and Vars list) as Geometry itself... ∫aL√0mic (IT9CLU) :: HP Prime 50g 41CX 71b 42s 39s 35s 12C 15C - DM42, DM41X - WP34s Prime Soft.

(11-08-2017 06:23 PM)Tim Wessman Wrote: This seems strange. FREEZE not behaving nicely at the moment is a known issue, but I would not have expected a crash there. It feels like the compiled program from before might be bad in some way which I would not expect at all. I also had issues with FREEZE on my Prime (HW C). For me, the problem occurred in a little program found here the forums called 'Entry Mode Switcher' which is used to hop between entry modes (RPN / Textbook / Algebraic). It uses the FREEZE command near the end to keep the currently selected mode on the screen until a key is pressed. With the Beta FW, I encountered spontaneous reboots a few times trying to execute this program. The code is very simple and copied below in case it helps in nailing down the FREEZE bug: KEY K_On() BEGIN Entry:=(Entry+1) MOD 3; STARTVIEW(-1,1); TEXTOUT_P(STRINGFROMID(1903+Entry),G0,2,207,2,RGB(255,0,0)); FREEZE; END; |

The code is very simple and copied below in case it helps in nailing down the FREEZE bug: Hi Tim, I can't get it to crash but every once in a while. After seeing that FREEZE wasn't working and occasionally crashing, I replaced FREEZE with WAIT(0.5). For this program that works well enough for my needs. When I experimented by changing the WAIT back to a FREEZE and executed it, the calculator crashed. Unfortunately, trying to replicate the crash by swapping FREEZE to WAIT and then back again doesn't trigger it again for me. It's almost like some period of time needs to pass before it will crash again. (?) Opening / Closing the source and removing STARTVIEW didn't seem to change anything, but since I can't reliably duplicate the reboot, I am unable to more fully test that. Sorry that I don't have more for you. |

RE: Public Beta Availiable - Win/Mac/Firmware [UPDATED]
Installed 12951 Connectivity Kit and Virtual Calculator on my Win 10 laptop, without a hiccup. Also downloaded the firmware update for my rev A calculator. I unzipped the contents of the firmware update into the Firmware folder inside the HP Connectivity Kit folder and then connected the calc to my laptop. Initiated the Update Calculator option from the Connectivity Kit and the process seemed to go without a hitch, but after it had finished the calculator's firmware still shows it to be the previously installed release (12066). The CK confirms this by opening the Update Calculator dialogue.
So I am wondering what I did wrong and how I might remedy it. ter |

I mean in Documents -> Hp connectivity kit -> ROMs. If you don´t do that the app takes the old ROM inserted in that folder. Thank your for this beta firmware, I´m going to do some tests of how it works. |

RE: Public Beta Availiable - Win/Mac/Firmware [UPDATED]
Is the new graph3d app the same as the latest release of the available app out there? I'm concerned if I restore a backup I made before updating the firmware, will my backed up graph3d write over something new and better?

I think the values of transparency parameters in graphical commands should be consistent.
RECT_P - 0 = opaque, 255 = transparent PIXON_P - 0 = opaque, 255 = transparent BLIT_P - 255 = opaque, 0 = transparent Piotr Kowalewski |
