I moved back to the earlier version and it works fine again... I think!

the tools program worked to do linking etc. it was when addnew was called
that problems occurred

This is on a windows 7 box 32 bit

I don't think I tested that specific function after porting to the mingw compiler. So it is possible I overlooked something there.

That shouldn't matter. ;)

If I can't reproduce it on my system, I will get back to you for more details...

Bye, Wilfred.

I couldn't reproduce the crash. But I found an obvious bug in the 'addnew' function of ftools, that might explain the behaviour you experienced. A beta version of FToolsW32 with the fix is in your inbound.

OK no prob, glad to help :)

Thank you for testing and the bug report! ;)

Bye, Wilfred.

Coolio, will try to plug it in tonight when I get home and test it out.

Thank you for testing and the bug report! ;)

Most welcome :)

So it didn't crash, but there were no areas to add. I tested with 1 new area to
be added. Did the crash happen when there were no areas to add?

It's ok, because the format of the config files didn't change. But it's better not to. ;)

Yep figured I was on fairly safe ground :)
