I am having MaxiPlan run on my hard drive. Everytime (well almost) I attempt to run it via Icon it GURU's on me, with a sofware error. (error number is 00000003.0024E728) What ever this means? Anyway, I tried running it via CLI by typing RUN PLAN and it seems to work or atleast boot-up. There seems to be two programs "MaxiPlan program" this is the one with the Icon and "Plan" which does not have an Icon. I even tried to assign MaxiPlan: dh0:MaxiPlan but that did not work either. Can anyone help me with this? I sure would like to run it on the hard drive. Robert

Robert, The assign statement you're using is the same as the one I use. Try checking the default tool of the icon with the WB Info menu pick. There used to be a bug there where an invalid tool name could be generated, and I don't know if it was ever fixed. I gave up trying to start Maxiplan from Project icons long ago. Even when I got it to work, the program couldn't find its help files when started from a project icon in another directory. (I'm a couple of versions behind. Sort of gave up on Maxiplan, too.) Also, check the stack size of the icon. It should be at least 20000. GURU 3 is a 68000 trap/Address Error. Hope this helps, 80 David – via Whap!

The Icon does not have a default, it only has a tool type and the stack is a strange 4096. I guess this means I can't run it from my hard drive? Have you tried running the "plan" program only? If that works then all I need to do is make an Icon for it. Thanks for the quick reply. Robert

Robert, I'm afraid that you must have a later version of Maxiplan than I do, since the program is named 'Maxiplan Program' on my version. (i.e., I don't have a program named just plain 'Plan'). You should, though, be able to run it from your hard drive. First thing to do is to try changing the stack value to 20000. If it behaves differently, that is a good clue. You might have to use a larger value if 20000 doesn't work. Perhaps someone else in the Forum can help out. David – via Whap!

The plan program does not have an Icon and can be seen via CLI, but I think you know that. I will change the stack to see what happens.

I saw David's reply and thought I'd comment. My Maxiplan's (version III) info file has a stack of 20,000. Runs fine from the HD. I'd first try that; install on the HD, change the .info file's stack to 20000 and then try it. Out of curiosity, what Maxiplan do you have? It has been know over the years as: MaxiPlan, MaxiPlan 2.0, MaxiPlan 500, PlanIt, PlanIt 2.0, MaxiPlan 3.0, MaxiPlan 3.5….. others too, I'm sure, but I've lost track 🙂 –jp–seattle–

The Maxiplan version I have is not Maxiplan III. I will try the stack anyway to see what happens. Thank you and everyone who has left their reply.

I have Maxiplan 1.9 installed on dh0: and it runs without any problem. Info on Maxiplan Program icon shows stack set at 10000 – I don't remember altering it at any time. Have you assigned "maxiplan disk:" correctly in your startup seq? Joe – Whapping from the UK.
