New version: TSE 4.50.8

[S.E. Mitchell]

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
01 Sep 2025: v4.50.8
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
e32: revert setting code page to 437
sc32: revert using P_NOWAIT in call to spawn(sc32,...). Back to P_WAIT.
This should fix the problem folks were having with sc32 not compiling
all their files.

Linux: untar with: tar -xf tse-linux-4.50.8.tgz
It will create a tse directory and put all the files in there.

Windows: Nice install program. Unzip and run tse.exe.

unzipping Linux 4.50.8 using pkware pkzipc.exe gives error (see screenshot).

Doing the same with 4.50.6, 4.50.7 works OK.

with friendly greetings

I just downloaded the .tgz file from the link I sent.

I typed: tar -xf tse-linux-4.50.8.tgz

And it works as expected.

I built the archive using:

tar -cvzf allfiles.tgz -T tse/tse-linux-files.list

Then renamed it and uploaded it.

I also have a simple tar file viewer, by the author of the elvis editor.  

It also has no problems viewing the archive.

No idea why pkzipc does not work.

I suggest you use tar.

> tar -cvzf allfiles.tgz -T tse/tse-linux-files.list

If this same command  has been used all the time, also with ..., 4.50.6, 4.50.7 then it is probably a quirk of pkzipc.exe.

Otherwise it is likely caused by a change in the command.

It has been used since 4.50rc7.tgz, the first .tgz file I built.

Using built-in linux commands, I don't know any other way to create a .tgz file.

It is nice and painless - just give it a list of files, and away it goes!

When I use command line "g32 d:\mydir\*.c",

[S.E. Mitchell]

Sorry for the problem :(

Approximately how many *.c files are in mydir?

Do you have any autoload macros?

If so, can you try without loading any macros?

Can you also try using the default tse.ui and tse.cfg?

Thank you!

[S.E. Mitchell]

And if you are able - can you try the same thing with 4.5?

Thank you!

[zhong zhao]

4.50.6 is OK

but 4.50.8 pop "I'm sorry, Dave. ..." Error dialog,and exit when button OK clicked.
25 .c files in d:\mydir

No autoload any .mac

[zhong zhao]

I just try using the default tse.ui and tse.cfg, pop  the same Error dialog.

[S.E. Mitchell]

Thanks for the info!
I cannot duplicate this yet :(
Are those c files private?

I found pop Error dialog when filename include chinese character.
For example:
"g32 d:\mydir\*.c" pop Error dialog when "d:\mydir\" has only a file "d:\mydir\汉字.c"
"g32 d:\mydir\汉字.c" OK and not pop Error dialog when "d:\mydir\" has only a file "d:\mydir\汉字.c"
"g32 d:\mydir\*.c" OK and not pop Error dialog when "d:\mydir\" has only a file "d:\mydir\hz.c"

Dear Sammy,

many thanks for keeping up a steady stream of (ever greater) Tessie versions, year after year.

If i may suggest a possible, and very minor, improvement to sc32.exe:

when called without parameters, it offers an option to burn in a customization file:

E:\Kopiertes\TSEPro\sc32.exe
SAL Compiler V4.50.8 - 2025 Sep 01 (12415)

B - Burnin/Configure editor
C - Compile stand-alone Macro
? - Show command-line parameters

Choice: b
Filename of interface file: E:\Kopiertes\TSEPro\ui\MyTSE.UI
Filename of The SemWare Editor:  [E:\Kopiertes\TSEPro\g.exe]

As shown, the default name suggested for the graphical version is g.exe. 

The editor, as installed, is however named g32.exe (e32.exe for the console one). 

If the user misses the differences and proceedes with the suggested g.exe, the 

customization failes:

Burning configuration into file 'R:\Temp\g.exe'
Warning 1305  (0,0)      Error opening file 'R:\Temp\g.exe'
Unable to burn in interface - continuing...
Create separate automatically-loaded interface file(s) instead? [Y/N] n
Error   2228  (0,0)      Error burning in configuration in 'R:\Temp\g.exe' 

Perhaps this default name could be updated?

Best Wishes,

Harald.

[S.E. Mitchell]

Good idea - updated.
Thanks for the suggestion!

BTW: New tsort.exe is a 64 bit exe, so can not use on  32 bit  Windows XP.

[S.E. Mitchell]

re: tsort.exe is a 64 bit exe.
If anyone needs a 32-bit version, I can provide one.

I mean do not let TSEPro 4.50.9 can not call extern sort for tsort.exe is a 64 bit exe on 32 bit Windows XP.

We can use 32-bit version tsort.exe on 32 bit Windows XP, and use 64-bit tsort.exe on 64 bit Windows 10 adaptively.
