[Scilab-users] ATOMS problem

[René Grognard]

Thanks for your reply, Pablo.

No I didn't change anything in my copy of Scilab.

The last time I used *actively* ATOMS was to reload a corrected Matlab-like
plotting library which unexpectedly had ceased to be compatible with the
graphic module which comes with Scilab. As that compatibility was vital to
my projects I reported it and it was soon corrected. So ATOMS was well
behaved *that *last time I had to use it.

This week-end I just wanted to add maybe an image processor and was *only*
trying to find what was available when I noticed that ATOMS didn't work
anymore.

Yes I tried what you say, even directly inserting one of the examples from
Help concerning the atoms package to be on the safe side. Scilab reported
that the atoms package was not available and then a catastrophic error
occurred. Unfortunately I failed to copy the error message in time. When I
tried to exit Scilab instead relaunched itself into a loop repeating that
last exit command. I could only terminate it with the Task Manager by
ending the tasks faster than they were added to the list of running ones!
Not easy winning that race...

Given your second e-mail I'll try to reinstall Scilab again and report back
to you not trying any new trick: *chat échaudé craint l'eau froide!*

I fear that it might be related to a recent loadful of Microsoft automatic
updates to my copy of Windows 7...

Thanks again and greetings from Sydney where Spring is back!

René.
