I'm having an unusual problem when opening diskfont.library...
Actually, there is no problem in opening it, IF it exists in the libs:
dir. But, if it isn't in libs:, my system crashes with nice guru 00000004.
(illegal instr).
Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong? Here's the code I am using:
if (!(diskfontbase = OpenLibrary("diskfont.library", 33L)))
{
alert(0); /* my routine to display an alert which DOES work correctly*/
Close_All(); /*closes all opened libraries, windows, etc*/
exit(FALSE);
}
diskfontbase is of type struct Library... Control never makes it out of the
if... line if diskfont.library doesn't exist, but works fine if it finds it.
Any ideas? Thanks.
Bob

Many people accidentally capitalize the f, including myself in my original response.

So does SAS/C. And the Commodore supplied diskfont.fd is keen on that, too.
