Clipper program does not run on 2018 version

[mogul19]

Hi, 

I am using an older version of vDos to run our "car" program(it is Clipper) I am currently running it on the 2015 version just fine, it also runs in the 2017 version, but there I have some problems with printing. 

Now I tried the new version of vDos but unfortunately it does not run at all

here is the error which is displayed:

Error [35]: Invalid opcode in C:\CAR.EXE at 0710:081F

code 0000 SS=1290 DS=0000 ES=12E8  load base=AB40

AX=4A00 BX=1240 CX=8C64 DX=1290 SP=76CA BP=76D6 SI=0EFF DI=7728

C:\>
In the older Version I use XMEM=63 EMS 

here is the log.

thanks for any help

You’re the first to report a problem with Clipper and the new vDos version.

It seems your program is running wild when the exception is generated.

Could you check the date of vDos.exe is June 30. The initial release assumed incorrectly for instance the stack segment wouldn’t be located in EMS memory.

Else I would need some test environment with CAR.EXE to reproduce the error, the less, the better.

Good morning,

the date of vDos.exe is 30.05.2018 07:01

I downloaded it just yesterday.

Then I would need some minimal test environment to reproduce the error…

I send you the car exe for testing by email

Hi,

I am also having a problem running a clipper application with the latest version of vDos only and as modul19 I was working with 2015 and 2017 but had printing issues I hoped to resolve with 2018.

It's an accounting aaplication called champion and it is started by running champ.com.

As I said I am using

05/30/2018 06:01 AM 946,880 vDos.exe

and when I enter champ it simply comes back to the command prompt without doing anything

Please let me know if you would like me to send you the app

THanks

The problem of mogul19 was fixed, though that doesn’t mean it’s the same as yours.
You could send me your program by wetransfer to [e-mail] (change the “a” to an “o”).

What were the printing issues, not much has changed to the vDos print processor.
