D5 crashes fatally when Tools+ is installed.

I installed Tools+ and saved image. When I started D5 I get the
following. I have no way of recovering and had to reinstall D5. This
could be serious if someone does not have a backup.

I had the same problem, but it's pretty simple to fix: just make sure the
sswtools DLL goes into the same Program Files subdirectory as the Dolphin 5
EXE.

HTH,

Don

Thanks for pointing this out Don.

This point is covered in the installation instructions in the Tools+ ReadMe
(the relevant section is below), but is now on the website also.

I've no objection to Tools+ queries being discussed here, but for the record
they can also be emailed direct to

[hidden email]

Thanks.

The sswtools.dll file should be placed in the Dolphin Smalltalk 5.0 program
directory (usually c:\program files\object arts\dolphin smalltalk 5.0).

Fortunately I did not lose anything. But just as a suggestion.

1) Don't mix the license with installation instructions. I did not
read to the end of Readme  because that seemed to be a license file.
It says "SOLUTIONS SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT" at the very top. I
paged down once and it still is a license. So like a regular dumb
user, I simply Installed the .pac files.

2) If installing it other than in the folder you mention  will cause
serious problems you should mention it in the installation.

Also I meant to ask if there is any docs on how to use the classes.

Regards,

Costas

But we all read licences in full don't we? ;-)

OK, the ReadMe now refers the reader to the end for installation
instructions.

Do you have any specific queries? Once installed, all Tools+ enhancements
are automaticallly activated. The website describes the various enhanced
functions; most should be readily visible since by and large they work
within the existing browsers. There's a longer section on Method Spies since
these are a new concept.
