291.0. "Fatal error on [ Device Conversion ] helppp!!!" by DUGGAN::MORIN () Wed Mar 07 1990 13:02

    I am having problem in trying to compile an SDML file into bookreader
    format.  I get to the [D e v i c e   C o n v e r s i o n ]... portion
    and get a SYSTEM-F-ACCVIO, access violation, reason mask=00, virtual
    address=00000000, PC=0801806B, PSL=00000002 error.  
    
    I installed the latest version (1.2B) of Document and are running VMS
    5.3.  I had an older version of Document on the system (1.0) and
    installed this newer version over that.  Is there some logical or
    definition that has to be removed, added or changed ?*($^^^.  The
    installation seemed to go ok but I'm sure that does not mean everything
    is alive and well.  Any help and/or suggestion would be greatly
    appreciated.
    
    thanks,
    Kurt...

	Please post your log file and a pointer to ALL 3 of your DVI files and I'll take a look MIKe
291.2	Here are the files that you requested	DUGGAN::MORIN		`Thu Mar 08 1990 09:32`	10
	Mike I have only 2 DVI files that I can see. I placed these files and the LIS file in the following location ( WELTER::DUA3:[DOCUMENT] ) and should be world read and executable. The address for WELTER is 21.288 just in case you need to define it. Let me know if you need additional information. thanks, Kurt...
291.3	Footnotes strike again	MJFITZ::FITZELL	put nifty saying here	`Thu Mar 08 1990 13:43`	9
	Kurt, The problem is a \special in the dvi file that is missing an argument. Theoretically this should never happen but you can't trust anybody nowadays. There is a warning about possible problem with footnotes in your .lis file that is more than likely the culprit. You can check with Wayne Grant (CLOSET::GRANT) about known problems with footnotes if nothing is obvious. This will be fixed in the future to at least exit gracefully. Mike
291.4	Thanks for your help. It worked fine.	DUGGAN::MORIN		`Thu Mar 08 1990 15:32`	7
	Mike, Thank you for your quick reply and timely fix. I commented out the footnote and it completed successfully. thanks, Kurt...
291.5	Another device conversion error	JANUS::CWALSH	If it's wind, I'll call it Shaw	`Wed Mar 21 1990 10:53`	14
	I also have an online build that fails at this stage. The relevant parameters are: [ D e v i c e C o n v e r s i o n ]... %DVC-I-INCLUDING, including input file: PSI_WDD_ROUT_CONTENTS %SYSTEM-F-ACCVIO, access violation, reason mask=05, virtual address=FFFFFFFF, PC =0801806B, PSL=00000002 The DVI and log files are in MARVIN::DISK$USER1:[WALSH.NCL]. I'd be most grateful if someone could figure out what is causing the problem. Chris

	I'm getting protection violations when trying to get the files Mike
291.7	Fixed in next release	MJFITZ::FITZELL	put nifty saying here	`Thu Mar 29 1990 10:27`	6
	This problem was/is in the converter and will be fixed in the next release. <online_title> strings of more than 48 characters were not being handled properly. The interim solution is to keep the <online_title>argument to 48 characters or less. Mike
