Hi Chris, I am a little confused about the timing of the quoted email. Did you send that before or after downloading and installing the new release that I announced on Thursday afternoon. That is, I am trying to figure out if this problem persists for you in the latest release. Thanks, B On Thursday, August 18, 2011 06:30:06 pm Christopher Patridge wrote:

Hello Bruce,

I retested the crash to get the text file you mentioned. I think I found the right one which is attached. Hope this helps the debug.

Hi Chris,

It turned out to be a small, easily fixed typo.

I am planning on making yet another new release of Demeter this afternoon before going home. I'll add you to the list of people I email about it.

For future reference, when the new codes crash, they try to write a file with names like "dathena.log" and so on. You can find this in %APPDATA%\demeter. On XP, %APPDATA% is something like

C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data

That file gets overwritten the next time you fire up the program, so be sure to snag it before doing so. If you send along that file, it helps me figure out what's going wrong.

Hello all,

I recently (yesterday) installed the new Dementer package with Strawberry perl on a freshly installed XP Pro SP3. I have tried to open a couple different old Artemis projects (.apj) and once chosen, (D) Artemis shuts down immediately with no warnings messages. The message line reads something like - "converting data to Dementer fit serialization" and then everything disappears. I have attached one of the projects I attempted

open. I can open data from previous Athena projects with no problem.

Any

help would be appreciated.

buena salud,
