From D_Lane at PhoneCoop.coop Mon Jul 23 13:21:44 2018 From: D_Lane at PhoneCoop.coop (David R Lane) Date: Mon, 23 Jul 2018 13:21:44 +0100 Subject: [AppBasic] DrawScript memory problems and other questions Message-ID: <7eac1b1c57.D_Lane@D_Lane.PhoneCoop.coop> Hello all DrawScripters, When running a DrawScript program in a task window I sometimes get, immediately, a DrawScript error window saying "0K has not been enough memory for drawfile. Select OK to configure Dbox." Going to the Configure window, there is 26208K in Next, 751840K in Free and 8100K in Screen memory. I can't find any advice for these settings in the html manual or StrongHelp manual; but they are a lot larger than those shown in the picture of this window in the html manual, except for the Screen setting in "Drawfile memory configuration" which is a greyed-out 256 in the manual and a greyed out 0 in my settings. However, I haven't been able to alter the latter. It seems that if I run one of my DrawScript programs in a fresh Task Window, I don't get the above error from DrawScript; but, if I go on to run a second DrawScript program from the same Task Window, then I get the error. A, possibly related, issue is that I am trying and getting text output to the Task window as well as 2 draw files from the program. Could there be problems with a DrawScript program that has both a text output and draw file outputs? -- RISC_OS Dave From D_Lane at PhoneCoop.coop Mon Jul 23 13:21:44 2018 From: D_Lane at PhoneCoop.coop (David R Lane) Date: Mon, 23 Jul 2018 13:21:44 +0100 Subject: [AppBasic] DrawScript memory problems and other questions Message-ID: <7eac1b1c57.D_Lane@D_Lane.PhoneCoop.coop> Hello all DrawScripters, When running a DrawScript program in a task window I sometimes get, immediately, a DrawScript error window saying "0K has not been enough memory for drawfile.
