Upon upgrading from 20020605 to 20020710, whenever I try to use ORcad Capture (a part of the PSpice Lite software), I get window popup with a tilebar of DSM0006 and an error message unable to save <the file I was trying to create> and on the next line, "system error". What's interesting is the file does get created, but the program refuses to register that it exists (still prompts me to save unsaved stuff. If you need more detailed information, please e-mail back. Thankyou --Greg
------- Additional Comments From tony_lambregts <at> telusplanet.net 2002-07-20 15:46 ------- This is a regression bug from your description. As bugs go this is easy to find and fix using regression testing as outlined in the following link:
http://www.winehq.org/Docs/wine-devel/cvs-regression.shtml
If there is a downloadable version of this program then it is possible for someone else to do the regression testing. If there isn't then it is up to you.
------- Additional Comments From hogger2 <at> mushworld.dnsart.com 2002-07-21 11:28 ------- There is no download for this program, however there is a for to fill out to get the lite version on cd mailed to you for free. This is the version I used. I have a relatively old computer, so regression testing would be very very time consuming. However below is the url to the form to get a copy of the cd for anyone willing to help. http://www.cadencepcb.com/products/downloads/orcaddemo/frmorcaddemocd.asp
------- Additional Comments From tony_lambregts <at> telusplanet.net 2002-07-21 12:23 ------- Out of curiosity how old is your computer? I do regression testing all the time on mine.
P233 with 96 mb RAM and 40GB hardDrive. I did regression testing with a 3GB harddrive and 32 mb ram using the same computer.
Yes it is time consuming but you can use your computer while it is doing a compile. With the timeframe you are talking about it should take at most 6 itinerations to narrow it down to the day the patch was applied.
------- Additional Comments From hogger2 <at> mushworld.dnsart.com 2002-07-22 15:34 ------- I've got a 233 with 64 megs of ram. THe CPU is ok for compiling in the background. THe memory is a big problem, as is my only 16 GB of storage space (of which, 800 MB is currently free. I do video recording with real time compression on my computer, so I need all the CPU power I can get. Also, with mozilla taking up 30 MB of memory, openoffice another 20MB, memory gets a bit tight on this college workhorse. I've got summer school finals coming up right now so I can't do much of my own testing. Upgrading from Debian potato to Debian Woody is my next project. My main constraint though is the disk space.
------- Additional Comments From tony_lambregts <at> telusplanet.net 2002-07-22 16:48 ------- OK, I sent away for the cd and will do the testing when it gets here. They say about 2 weeks or less.
Ok Thanks alot. I've just upgraded to woody, and I've run into some pressing problems that require immediate attention. But I'll be glad to tell you the steps I use to determine if the software works if you like. --Greg
------- Additional Comments From tony_lambregts <at> telusplanet.net 2002-07-31 14:36 ------- I was able to install Capture, Layout and PSpice with the following setup
wine snapshot 20020605 [Version] "windows" = "win98" (in .wine/config) actual windows installed win98
I could not install this program using the current CVS so I should start another bug for that. Also I had trouble installing it useing other windows versions "NT40" and "win2k" sort of worked but gave me too many problems probably due to not actualy having nt40 or win2k dlls
If you could give a step by step procedure to reproduce the bug I would appreciate it.
------- Additional Comments From tony_lambregts <at> telusplanet.net 2002-08-01 10:20 ------- I have no idea on how to reproduce the error you described, Wine snapshot 20020710
------- Additional Comments From tony_lambregts <at> telusplanet.net 2002-11-10 09:07 ------- I recieved these instructions about a month ago but things got in the way.
Once installed, however, you should create a new project by going file-new. type in a project name, and select "Analog or Mixed A/D". The location needs to be specified, but can be anywhere you want the program to create it's data files for this project. After hitting ok, select "Create a blank Project". At this point, it should take you to a work space with a big white screen. But on the newer versions of wine, it will bring up the error message before reaching this screen.
