#RexxArplib & A4000
3 messages in this thread
Background:
I wrote a arexx script that uses rexxarplib.library 3.0 and it works find
on my Amiga 2000 with ADOS 2.04.
Problem:
When I put the script and rexxarplib 3.0 on a friends Amiga 4000 ADOS 3.0
it will not run. The rexxarplib 3.0 is not getting loaded because the
system thinks that rexxarplib 3.0 is version 1.0. When I type "version
libs:rexxarplib.library" it returns with version 1.0. I made sure that
there were no other versions of the rexxarplib on his machine and I know
that I had the right version because I copied it to disk and checked it on
his wife's Amiga 600 (A family of Amiga computers 🙂 ) and version return
3.0.
Here the line from my arexx script that loads the rexxarplib
check=addlib("rexxarplib.library",0,-30,0)
So any suggestion.
Is it possible that there's another copy of rexxarplib somewhere on your
friend's computer? Once a library is in memory, the system won't reload the
library file from disk, even if the version is different. So if your friend
already had rexxarplib version 1 in memory, putting the new file in LIBS: won't
help. You'll need to find the other version and then purge the old version
from memory. (Rebooting would also work.)

I had checked to make sure that there no other version of rexxarplib on
his system and had rebooted it and I am still at a lost as why my problem
is occuring. Is it something to do with ADOS 3.0 on a A4000?
