After a second look with some more time at hand I am less sure about the
exactness of my diagnosis.
First of all, there are two (identical?) script editors in our IDE both
of which also use "errordialog" much in the same way as in stack
"mctools" but additionally check for the script limits of the Starter
Kit. One of these stacks, "script editor", is by default invisible, but
both stacks "script editor" and "script editor 1" seem to contain the
same scripts; however, I have not done a word-for-word comparison.
As a substack of the home stack we have got a "Stack 988758648" which
seems to be entirely empty. Where does it come from?
====================
I re-checked - I think others in our group have done that already - the
identity of the MC_IDE stacks on my Windows computer from 2.5.1, 2.6a2
to the different versions of 2.6. With the exception of the different
engines the IDE stacks are absolutely indentical. But indeed for
versions higher than 2.5.1 the said *first* error dialog with "integer"
occurs.
However this does not hold for standalones, which use the same engines.
I then checked the latest engine Rev 2.2 of April 4 in both IDEs; we get
the "integer" error in the MC_IDE, but not in Revolution.
I hope I am not too far off the mark with a "logical" conclusion that if
the error codes of the engines have not been changed then something else
must have been changed that pertains to the interaction of the engine
with the MC_IDE - or does anybody see other possible conclusions on the
basis of the described facts?
