hello,

i'm playing with the blobman (hmmm... that doesn't sound very
good, does it?) and i noticed that it has code in it to write to a
file using fopen and write, but the file is not getting written.  i
searched the whole drive.  i also checked to make sure that the
code wasn't conditional (inside an if statement).

does anybody have an idea why the file is not being created?
it looks like i'm only running 3.1a, but the documentation shows
the fopen and write syntax, and i'm not getting any error messages.

thanks, miker

There was a fix done to those after 3.1a I believe, let's see.... no, I
don't see it written up in the Changes.txt of this POV-Win 3.1g version.
I know there was something about it said though, the changes.txt says
not all is shown. Doesn't mean there isn't a problem with the Blobman
file however, mainly because I tried it too and no go. Anyone know
what's up? Peter Houston, if you're out there....

It works fine for me, and always has in versions 3.1e and g, I did notice
that the code produced an error once I upgraded to 3.1g, but that was only
because of a missing comma, which I have corrected in version 3.5 of
Blob_Man, for the record I am using the Windows Version.

hi peter,

well, you know, i assumed it worked for you, or you wouldn't have
documented it.  what i don't understand is why it isn't working for
me... of course, i have my suspicions...  i have the ability to make
incredibly stupid and obvious errors in any matters involving software.
i ran your program as is, and then i searched all my drives for the
file.   the obvious answer was that i was searching for a file of the
wrong name... but i double and triple checked this.

i'll give it a rest and go back to it later.

thanks, miker
