DPlot

Dave,

I have experienced problems with the Macro facility in DPlot.
I am using the current ver. 1.9.8.1 under Win2k/SP4.

Here is what happens : I open the Macro Editor (File->Macro),
choose an existing macro for Edit/Create, which brings up
DPMAC.EXE in the Task Manager's process list.
Then I edit (i.e. comment) one line in the macro,
single step the macro, exit the Macro Editor,
do some other manipulations in DPLOT,
bring up the Macro Editor again,
choose a macro to Edit/Create, which starts up another
instance of DPMAC.EXE in the Task Manager.
Single step the macro, exit the Macro Editor.
When I finally terminate the DPLOT session,
the instances (there can be several) of DPMAC.EXE in the
Task Manager hog all my CPU resources. I then have to
kill the DPMAX.EXE processes manually.

If I choose Run Macro instead of the Single-Step-Macro and
otherwise do exactly the same, everything is nicely cleaned up.

Any clues ?

Aksel,
If I'm not misken, though, you aren't actually exiting the editor, just swapping tasks. Right?

Dave,

I exit by clicking the upper right cross in the editor window,
not via File->Exit.

I have just checked that if I use File->Exit instead, then the
DPMAX.EXE disappears from the Task Manager list.

Thanks, will look into this and fix as soon as possible.

Dave,

Take care and take your time to recover - judging from the
X-Ray posted it looks like a collar-bone fracture.
I know exactly how it feels (from too much skiing) ,
especially the pain you have to sustain when you have to
drive 800+ km with a bone fracture like yours.

This is *not* a big issue - I have found an easy work-around,
so don't pay too much attention to it.

Get well

Again, thanks.
