Dear Alan,
Unfortunately CSCD is not open source! The error message you encounter:
-------------------------------------------------
Microsoft Visual C++ Debug Library
Debug Assertion Failed!
Program: c:\CSCD\CSCD.exe
File: appui.cpp
Line: 177
--------------------------------------------
points to a line in the source code (177) of the application where the error occured. Without having the source code to check, we will not be able to track the problem. In any case, i dont know VRI's intentions about the programs further development. Some in this group mentioned an upcoming version 4? It would be a great idea if the CSCD software could be shifted to the open source community and improved upon by a circle of interested programmers.
The unavailability of the CSCD source code is one reason why we came up with a new implementation in C# (
http://www.nibbanam.com/PTReader/ which will include a search engine as well -> Lucene) . Unfortunately, the Pali Text Reader has still a long way to go (as you know)...
regards,
Lennart

Subject: [Pali] CSCD software errors: what's your setup
Hello all,
Recently in another Pali forum, Dmytro and I have been talking about the
CSCD software and the problems that I , as a Windows XP user, am having
with the software. 50% of my searches crash the software, I can't print
on paper or to file any of the passages, and I certainly cannot copy any
of the text. I have tried a number of "fixes" including installing the
software manually, trying the Windows 95 emulation ability of XP, and
removing/reinstalling the software no less than 15 times. It still
doesn't work.
Dmytro uses Windows 98, and apparently doesn't have nearly the same
number of problems that I do, so I am thinking of creating a new
partition on my computer in order to install Windows 95 (for which the
CSCD was designed) or Windows 98, depending upon which is less expensive.
However, before I spend any money on these old operating systems, does
anyone here have any experience resolving these problems while still
being able to use Windows XP?
I don't always get error messages, but when I do, this is what I get:
-------------------------------------------------
Microsoft Visual C++ Debug Library
Debug Assertion Failed!
Program: c:\CSCD\CSCD.exe
File: appui.cpp
Line: 177
--------------------------------------------
The program then crashes every time. I don't know anything about C++,
or what this error means, or what I could do to fix it.
Anyway, Dmytro is working on figuring out a better way to search the
canon than the CSCD software, but until then, does anyone have some advice?
With metta,
Alan
