I've been using IDL 4.0.1b under WFW3.11 for nearly a year now without
(serious) problems. However, since Friday afternoon the built-in FindFile()
function has stopped working. Given a valid, correctly-formatted argument, it
simply fails to return any matching files. E.g.,
IDL> result=FindFile('c:\dos\*.exe')
IDL> help,result
RESULT STRING = ''
when there are 45 files matching 'c:\dos\*.exe'.
Has anyone else ever experienced this problem? If so, how did you fix it?
I've already re-installed IDL, with no change in the situation. I'm thinking
about re-installing DOS and/or Windows, since I'm thinking that FindFile
probably uses hooks in the OS. Any advice?
Replies by e-mail, please. I'll post anything of general interest.
Dave
