Can't load DLLCC parcel

Hi all,

I've been trying to store a copy of my base image in store, for which DLLCC is apparently a prerequisite.

I've downloaded DLLCC from the Cincom site, but the parcel file is listing with [?] next to it, and doesn't give me a load option. It has the message "Cannot read the parcel file" in the parcel manager.

If I try to run it in manually it fails too, with the error below, but i guess that is not surprising as there is also a warning about attempting this which pops up when I run it and mentions that prerequisites won't be loaded and load actions won't be performed.

Is there something wrong with the file? I've checked the smart CR/LF setting in winzip, and it is definitely off. Alternatively is this related to my main image being in VW7.3 and the DLLCC parcel being in 7.4? If so is there anywhere I can obtain the 7.3 version of DLLCC

thanks

James

Sounds like it's having trouble finding the file.

If the DLLCC parcel is in its standard place in the VW installation, you
should not see the [?] in the parcel manager.

If it's in some other place, you need to use the "directories" tab in
the parcel manager and navigate to where the parcel file is.

If the directories tab won't take you to where the parcel file is, the
parcel is not on the parcel path. Either add to the parcel path through
the settings tool, or move the parcel files into a directory on the
parcel path.

And do you have both the .pcl and the .pst files in the same directory?

hth,

Re: Can't load DLLCC parcel

Hi all,

It looks like it is the version that is the problem. I downloaded smalltalk
7.4 and DLLCC loaded successfully. When I view it in Parcel manager it has
[7.4] next to it, which implies to me that it is the minimum version.

So I guess the question is do I need to upgrade everything to 7.4 or is
DLLCC for 7.3 still available somewhere

thanks

James
