I have been using codewright for years and fired up an older machine only to find codewright won't run anymore. It gives the error, "Instruction at 0x101624a5 referenced memory at 0x4a7125a3. The memory could not be read." Any idea what could be wrong? I don't see where the new owners of the code are doing any support, they don't even list it as a product, it only shows up on the store order page, not in the products page. This is ver 7.5 Rick

This is ver 7.5Total guess but could the developers have done something clever that's now being trapped by Windows Data Execution Prevention (DEP)? This was introduced (IIRC) with XP SP2, which could match the "older machine" description. Give this a try if it is an XP box. <http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/566/xp-sp2-how-to-turn-off-the-data-execution-prevention-feature-dep/> It's reversible, so you shouldn't nuke the PC by trying this. Also, too: Notepad++ rox (as the kids say nowadays ;-) and it's FOSS. http://notepad-plus-plus.org/ -- Rich Webb Norfolk, VA

I like Win2k for most things, but networking was still pretty crude in terms of the user interface. I still can't get it to connect to my Vista machine either by Ethernet or wi-fi. If I could network them together I would just edit the files via the Vista laptop. Funny, I used to have the two Win2k desktops talking, but not with Vista. Heck, I am finding software that needs a special "hook" compiled in to run and so far none of the software authors are willing to bother to add the free library needed from Microsoft. It may be nearing the end of the road for this venerable machine. I'm not sure how I'll do my PC/104 work in the future. This is my last machine with an ISA bus slot. Rick

How many years of cat hairs have accumulated on the heat sinks? Also possible that you may have flaky memory (well, your *machine* may have flaky memory); try running Memtest86 or Memtest86+ overnight. -- Rich Webb Norfolk, VA

This won't help you with getting CodeWright running, but if you are looking for an alternative, I'd suggest Slickedit. It's much like CodeWrite but it has a lot more features. It has all the emulation modes CodeWright had plus some. It's lightweight and fast. It's also available on a lot of platforms. It's not cheap, but I have a personal copy and have kept a maintenance license active for the last seven years. I think it's well worth it. After Borland killed Brief I moved to CodeWrite and after Borland killed CodeWright I moved to Slickedit. I really hope they stay away from Slickedit. - Tim --------------------------------------- Posted through http://www.EmbeddedRelated.com

Now I have an editor that runs everywhere there is a c-compiler and curses like thingy. It is configurable. The editor has two users and I'm the only one who configured it like Wordstar.

The learning curve might be a little steep at the beginning but the payback is huge. The electric-mode for vhdl is outstanding, with templates for any sort of language construct. You learn it once, you use it forever.> Using it right now. >To be honest I failed to understand which editor you use.

You get used to it, and while it's undergone incremental changes over the last decade, it hasn't undergone any huge stupid "improvements". -- Tim Wescott Control system and signal processing consulting www.wescottdesign.com

I tried SlickEdit (which somebody else mentioned) but I personally found it to be a bit too intrusive. I've been using UltraEdit for a while and have been reasonably happy with it ... it's cross platform, doesn't get in the way and in operation it feels (to me) very similar to the good old (5.5) Codewright.
