Bob,
this is the code that triggers it --
"
if (major<17 || (major==17 && minor<0)) {
Print(4095,"\nERROR! book.bin not made by version 17.0 or later\n");
fclose(book_file);
fclose(books_file);
book_file=0;
books_file=0;
}
"
if I comment this out - everything works. I do not create a new book very
often, but I was just experimenting with a new book and I came accross the same
problem. Something has change with the "version" check - but I am not sure
what. I'm also not sure if it is strictly related to MSVC++ complies or all.
If I use the book I had have for a while - it works. But I cannot create a new
book that works unless I "comment out" this version check.
