This is a post for someone else who has no USENET access, however if you can shed any light on his problem, he would appreciate it. I am not a NeXT programmer so I can't enlighten him. If you have any suggestions, ideas, or solutions please respond directly to me. Here's the runtime error he said he has been receiving: DPS Client Library Error Postscript Program Error, DPS Context 84128 %%[Error Undefined result; Offending command: bin obj seq, Type=128, Elements=3, size=28]%% The error was told to me verbally over the phone. If this is not exactly how it appears, oh well, I think enough information was conveyed to get the point across. I will tell you that this fellow is not a programmer by profession. He is not the most savvy programmer. Nor is dilegence an attribute. For example he mentioned that he was not aware of what manual in the documentation could shed some light on what the potential problem is. He stated that the code does reach his code per se, that the error occurs from code generated from interface tool. I conjectured that some bad pointer is being passed, perhaps he is not initializing something, or a variation on the latter (e.g. bad values being passed to some initialization code). What manual could he look at? I may not be a programmer but I noticed that the NeXT docs are not exactly the greatest on earth. Also there seems to be a dearth of books on NeXT programming. That has been one of his complaints. He is using it for trading purposes (futures), an area where NeXT computers have hit it big, i.e. in the trading profession. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks, Mario Pacheco
