I'm not sure if someone answered this, but I think there is something
within the spatial package (part of the VR bundle) that does this.  (If
not, I would say it's pretty easy to write yourself, but maybe that's
unfair.)

Slight problem ... pasting the degrees character (?), ASCII 176, into
RGUI for windows causes a crash in v1.2.2 but not in v1.2.1. It seems to
choke on all chars above 128 ASCII. Is this a bug?

Yes, but probably a bug in your Windows system.  I don't have 1.2.2 up
(it's obselete) but it causes no problem with 1.2.3 or pre-1.3.0 here.

A bug crashing on all chars above 128 is unlikely: Guido works in Italy,
after all.

We have had two or three reports of such things, on isolated machines
and different characters (UK pound sign, which this mailer will not accept,
was one).  That's Windows for you.

may i add a question:
are you running some kind of keyboard macro program?
i know the hard way that this can cause all sorts of problems in rgui.

Your writing "That's Windows for you" gave me pause for thought. I
checked a bit further and found that it is MSVCRT.DLL that is raising an
exception and not RGUI.EXE. Replacing this library with a previous
version gets rid of the problem. Of course, it might alter the function
of something else but that's Windows for you!

This would explain the isolated reports. Perhaps the solution is to
static compile RGUI.EXE ... perhaps it already is in the less obsolete
versions.

You can't.  MSVCRT.DLL supposedly depends on the OS (95/98/NT/2000), and
furthermore is not re-distributable.  (It is if you use VC++, but we do
not.)  Yes, a lot of problems are traceable to rogue MSVCRT.DLLs or other
system dlls.

Prof Brian D Ripley <ripley at stats.ox.ac.uk> writes (regarding static
compilation of RGUI.EXE to include library functions residing in
MSVCRT.DLL):

            

      
      
      
    

        
Are you sure about this? I have been using an ActiveX control (AddFlow
from Lassalle Technologies, http://www.lassalle.com) that claims to
have a version that is ...

        "statically linked with the Microsoft shared DLLs (mfc42.dll,
        msvcrt.dll). The advantage is that it does not need those DLLs
        to work."

Perhaps this .OCX was written with VC++. Seems likely.

Anyway, I've sold the problem here.

BTW, Is there a system .DLL dependency list for RGUI.EXE? The only
reference that I can find in the documentation is to MSVCRT.DLL from
rw1020 onwards.

Well, Microsoft do change their minds, but when we first looked into
changing, yes it was clearcut.

            

      
      
      
    

        
Well, pedump.exe will tell you, as will quick view on a well-equipped
machine.

It's the standard ones (kernel, user32, advapi, gdi as I recall) plus
comctl32, version and wsock32.

With rw1030 two weeks off, it's a bit irrelevant (since the answer is
different there).
