Topic: system freeze
Posted: Wednesday, August 18, 2010 4:49:11 AM
I can verify that MC is leaking memory as crazy. Here's why.

We use Filemaker Pro 11 as our "ordering system", and we transfer the part numbers by using the "copy partnumber" function in MC. However, Filemaker pastes EVERY character in the clipboard, even invisible chars like "NULL" (ascii 0) and such.

Anyway.. so a normal paste looks like this (NULL replaced with *-char for clarity

F58Z 1104-AA**************memdumpsysFFFFFFFF

or

XL2Z 9601-AA****windowmanageroverflowlkfjsdlfjldkfjsdlkjfsdlfkjsdlfkjsdfjlsdkfj

something like this. Always random, never predictable. Sometimes i get just garbled messages, sometimes I get bits and pieces of old vin numbers that I used hours ago.

Microcat is built on Windows 95 technology and running under a 32 bit emulator. It's leaking, crashing and haning like crazy. It's using files spread across the hard drive.

Ie, Microcat installs not only in your FNA folder, but in the system folder aswell as in Documents and settings, AND in the c:/ directory. Hey, what's the purpose of "mc1234" or "mcinst.ini" files?
Whatevery you do.. don't throw them away even though they are empty.

This car has the option roof rack delete. In it's place, there are plastic strips that cover the mountings for the roof racks.
Those plastic strips can not be found... where are they?

nope.. that's the drier. I need the lines from the ac compressor, specially the one with the integral fluid tank on there.. looks like a small soda bottle.
