Master_GDL Files Corrupted by Library Converter

Anonymous — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 02:03:32 GMT

When I run the library converter, Master_GDL files and MasterEnd_GDL files get extra text added at the start of the file. This causes an error at run-time. Has anyone else experienced this issue, and if so how can I avoid the problem? The files are already UTF8 but the extra code has been put in front of the BOM.

Hi Andrew,

I'm going to add an entry to our bug database about it and we'll investigate the issue soon. Interestingly, we don't experience this problem in our compilations though we have a Master_GDL file - puzzler. Thank you for the report.

Off-topic p.s.: I just leafed through your new book and I like it very much. I'm planning to read it thoroughly - it seems to be very useful!

Regards,
Zsolt

I have also seen the same in the past, and not just for a master GDL file. I don't see this happening in any current projects, but if I get a moment I'll dig up some old files and see if I can remember why it happened in the past.
