I have developed some Fortran code using Digital Visual Fortran,
which uses the Microsoft Developers Studio IDE. You can produce
a 32-bit DLL with that compiler and link to it from S-Plus 4.5 on
a PC running Win95 (and presumably Win98, WinNT). But I've
still got two problems:
1. I have the DLL working on one PC (stand alone/not on a network
with 64 MB RAM), but can not get it to run on another PC (again
a Pentium PC, but with 32 MB RAM and connected to our ethernet).
Specifically, when I do the dll.load("file") on the second PC,
I get an error return of:
-32: System is out of memory, or relocations were invalid.
The exact same DLL and dll.load command works on machine
one, but not on machine two. I cranked up the virtual memory
on the second PC, thinking it would solve the problem, but it
does not.
Is this really a problem with not having enough physical memory,
or what does a "relocation invalid" mean? Is it related to the
second machine running Novell network??
2. On machine one where the DLL works, every time I exit S-plus,
I now get an error and the debugger in Digital Visual Fortran
starts up, giving me a debug window and the assembler code of
the splus executable. This now happens every time I run
S-Plus, whether I do a dll.load followed by a dll.unload,
or dll.load with a dll.unload, or even without doing a dll.load.
It seems that S-Plus now permanently knows about the debugger
built into MicroSoft Developer Studio. This never occurred until
I started doing dll.load's recently.
I'd appreciate ideas on either of these problems.
The first problem is a real block for me, the second is just an
annoying 1 minute delay every time I exit S-Plus (the debugger
takes a while to fire up, load files, then I have to reply to
3 pop-ups to get out.)
