Hello there,

I think I have to report a bug.

I have recently downloaded fpc 2.0.4 rc2 for dos (go32v2). I have downloaded the full zip package, including sources and docs.

After installing the compiler, I tried out to compile and run some programs. Everytime I tried to run a program using the graph unit, an error occurred: The program would compile, but runnning the project always resulted in "run time error 216".
All the other programs (those without the graph unit) would run flawlessly.

I never encountered this problem with fpc 2.0.2. All programs, including these using the graph unit, work perfectly with fpc 2.0.2 go32v2.

My system: PII 233, 256 MB RAM, Windows ME.

Windows ME never showed up any problems regarding the go32v2 version with fpc 2.0.2.

P.S. : I am not yet subscribed to any mailing list.

The problem is that none of the Free Pascal developers uses Dos in any serious way, so nobody tests things like the graph unit anymore :(

However, if it works with 2.0.2 it might be a small issue.

Can you load one of these programs in gdb and show us a stack backtrace?

Please send a short (less than 20-50 lines if possible) program that fails. Regards John

Well, after playing fpctris (compiled for GO32v2
with 2.0.4-rc3) for a while, it certainly doesn't
seem to be valid for all programs using unit
Graph. OTOH, I could reproduce RTE216 on startup
of the Mandel and GravWars demoes... It's a pitty
that the report didn't arrive somewhat earlier
(not too much time for fixing it any more :-( ).
I'll see what can be done about it.

(@John) BTW, the reporter mentioned he wasn't
subscribed to our lists, so he didn't probably
see your response anyway (I added him to Cc: now).
