annoying hassles and easy fixes

• July 12 1998

Problem:

Worgan doesn't run at all. I get a strange error on load up.

Correction:

This is a common problem, in that Worgan requires a recent version of the DLL comctl32.dll.

You can download version 4.70 here. Just copy the DLL into your windows\system directory.

As far as I know, this is the only DLL that Worgan requires to have updated. Please let me know the specifics of any install or execute problem and I can hopefully tailor-make a solution for you.

Problem:

I click on Birthdate under Text To Add and it says Invalid Filename

Correction:

What happens here, is the default HUMAN.RAC file included with Worgan contains a reference to where the default calendar is, on my system. Go to the Race Manager and load the HUMAN.RAC file. Where is asks you to select the calendar file, click on the ellipsis speedbutton. You will be prompted to select a file. Select DEFAULT.CAL. Save the modified HUMAN.RAC file.

Now return to the Text To Add section. Everything should work correctly now.

Problem:

If the thumbprints (\Worgan 2\YourIdeas\Data\History.dat) file gets corrupted it can cause an awful looking error (that is actually quite harmless). A big dialog box will appear and complain about an Insertion Error.

Correction:

Click OK and then close Worgan down. Delete the History.dat file. You won't lose much data, other than your Thumbprints and your Priority list. It DOESN'T affect your idea cards, although it prevents you from accessing them consistently.

Problem:

You can only store about 1000 lines of text on a Worgan card.

Correction:

This isn't really a bug, although it is a limitation. Worgan, can only stores files about 60-70K big. Really you shouldn't have cards this big anyway because it defeats the purpose of having 'small' idea card.
