Firefly version 2

[Dennis Hoskins]

Paul,

I have an old app done in firefly version 2.X. I only use it once a year and I have had no problems with it until this year (it has previously successfully handled leap years but not this time). I tried to open/import in Firefly 3.7 in order to debug and I get an invalid project message (see attached).

Is there a way to manually import it? It is not a complex project so I can easily recreate it if I need to.

Thanks and Happy New Year.

Dennis

Sorry Dennis, there is no easy way to load FF2 projects into FF3. At the time, the change in file format was so severe that even a conversion program would have taken way too long to develop.

Not a problem. As I said it is a small simple project, so I recreated the GUI and copied the code over. Found the problem in a Date include file I found on the Powerbasic forum some years ago.  All is now well.
Thanks,
Dennis

Thanks Dennis - that's great news that you were able to port over the program and also find the source of the error.
