Topic: Problem with {Misc, Save and run programs} (1 of 5), Read 44 times, 1 File Attachment Conf: Installation, Configuration From: Peter Rejto Date: Saturday, April 17, 2004 05:49 PM Hello, I have some problems with the menu command, {Misc,Save and run programs}. After opening a .tex file in Vedit, I start up this menu command. As per instructions I enter ## latex a the dialog box. Then I get an error message: CANNOT OVERWRITE READ-ONLY FILE C:\TEXVOLS\ I got switched to Buffer 100 and a c:\vedit\veditsav.env file was loaded. I tried to save this file, but I had to do it under a different name. I called it veditsav.txt. I shall try to upload it. Incidentally, I have no trouble running latex via {Misc, DOS shell} or {Misc, Run Program}. Thanks, -peter.

  diagnostic file for {Misc, Save and run.

Thanks Fritz: This is exactly that I did. Then I made a typo in my message. To make sure that I do not make this typo twice, I am uploading my runshell.vdm file. I get the same error message from the other commands on this submenu, as well. Also, I did rename my old runshell.vdm in my archive directory to old_runshell.vdm. Thanks again, -peter.

I shall try to upload it. you may try to clean up the save facility of VEDIT [File, Edit restore} which is used here. Perhaps there is an old (and corrupt) save-file around... 1) Close VEDIT 2) Have a look at your VEDIT directory and your working directories and delete all files named VEDITSAV.DAT and VEDITSAV.ENV 3) Try {Misc,Save and run programs} again Just a guess.
