Yep that is what my earlier posts have said. Certain map generations crash the program. This particularly refers to the US map at larger sizes.

You were fortunate to have saved the default map.

Maybe this is a Win98 problem, but I have no such difficulty with the ole DA.

Yes, Tim there are some flakey problems with the map generator which has been with us for the last few betas. I too have experienced the problems above. It is difficult to pin down the exact problem(s). I have sucessfully generated, saved, and loaded every size of map, both in the "map Coordina...

Beta M fixed an IO error 32 being recived after retrieval during beta L

Still getting a range check error after retrieving frontal bulletin from Albany.

Re; beta L

I notice that NOAA's severe weather warnings can be retrieved but I see no menu list to plot them.

Tim: Some example scripts would be necessary for me to start the scheduler. I just assumed that the scheduler would have an option to work like the DA does. If I wanted the scheduler to activate my retrieval choices every thirty minutes and erase and plot around the clock, what would I enter? Wouldn...

The source of typhoon information is from JTWC in your retroeval window

Tim:

I also noted this morning that the typhoon "Mindulle" in the Pacfic has some plot errors which are not apparant in other tracking software. You may wish to check this in lieu of the fact that these are rare cases.

Tim: Having been a long time user of DA and only now looking at DAWS I would like to call to you attention the following when working with surface data. I am using a P3 W98 256 Ram. Comments thru the k patch: 1. When generating an Orthgraphic map size over 750x550 the program frequently crashes with...
