[Scilab-users] Follow-up Re: {EXT} Re: Scilab 6 problem with "Prettify"

[Claus Futtrup]

Hi all

First follow-up. I completely removed the entire section of Prettify 
code, and all instances of calls to the prettify function was commented 
out. This executes fine in Scilab 5.5.

In Scilab 6 I still get the "Invalid buffer." response, but now it can 
execute repeatedly. I just gotta chase down what buffer, etc. ... you 
know, the error which is not listed in the error table: 
https://help.scilab.org/docs/6.0.0/en_US/error_table.html

Best regards,
Claus
