Divide error

[Fred Buffington]

I wanted to keep from having to make this
post but i dont know what else to do.
I took Pbanim.bas and modified it to
do the gradient a little different
and put my own BMP file and text on it.
I then shell to a pbcc program and using
contools do a progress bar and some message
boxes. It runs great here and looks great.
I'm hoping to use it for a setup program.
I dont actually copy anything at the moment.
When I sent it to my son-in-law, however,
he gets the window frame then an error
message i named it setup1)
SETUP1 caused a divide error in module SETUP1.EXE at 015f:004044e9.

I have error traps in every sub which i was hoping would tell me
where the error was.

Can you tell me how to proceed. I can send the code if you would like. As i said, it runs flawlessly on my system (win95) either
through the interpreter or compiled and even when put in a different folder.

I'm afraid you'll need to do some detective work, Fred.

Have you added any error checking to the code?

Add #DEBUG ERROR ON to your code, and maybe write data to a "log" file as the code progresses until you can narrow down the cause of the problem.

Note that PBANIM is not a genuine PowerBASIC example file (it is code provided by a customer).

Best of luck!

I'm embarrassed. I renamed one of the bmp files "bgtm16.bmp" to something else and got the error. (I hadnt sent it to my son-
in-law as it wasnt one i was using - ill have to check how
and what it is exactly). But that seems to be it. Should have
checked something like that first thing. oh well, live and learn.
