Bug reports for istoff's GPL pitboard utility

A user reported crashes and read-only file problems with istoff's GPL Flagman utility, which adjusts the pitboard display settings. istoff asked for more detail on the bugs. The thread drifted into talk about the utility's web page and the posters' favourite 1970s and 1980s bands.

Great program, found 2 little bugs On my WinMe machine it sometimes crashes no explanation, just the "this program has made an illegal operation"....and you can't get rid of the "close" box, so it crashes kernel32 as well, it does this once every 10 times more or less. For a strage reason all the .ini files in my tracks folder are read-only, flagman doesn't want to override this...can you fix this ? Besides that it works great

apartheid in South America? Ai ya yai(dunno how to spell that). speaking of mr knopfler. is it just me or did he always seem p*ssed out of his skull whenever he went up to get awards and stuff. or did he really just speak like that? there is a nice dvd some of you might like. "music for montserrat". mark knopfler explains how sting was incorporated on the "Money for nothing" single, etc. nice if you happen to like a little bit of mark knopfler, phil collins, sting, paul mccartney, elton john, etc. Regards all, istoff
First RAS'ers sorry for this OT!! I never heard about this Dave but IIRC I believe this was during Eric's black years?{i.e. totally consumed with herion} I make no excuses for anyone who ended down this path & I never will but I've never heard about the story you just stated. Of course it is possible under the state that I mentioned! As you know, EC is one of the most reveared 'Rock'Blues Guitarist' in the world now but the "God" thing irritates the hell out of him as he does not like the so called "tag" one bit as he feels its very ill-reverent but thats an entire other story...lol I'm still lucky & really enjoyed the few times I was on stage with EC and many other rock-blues & jazz artist in the 60s-70s & 80s... :-) Btw: I never had the luxory to meet Mark Knoffler but he is another great guitarist but there are so many since rock & guitar became the main signature to many rock groups. Yes I play guitar too. Just like a million others..lol "Dave Henrie" wrote: | I had this wonderful Dire Straits live tape I recorded off the | radio...lousy mixing, poor sound, but the live arrangements were cool.
