Boa crashes on Windoze 98

[Anand Pillai]

I am trying to run the latest Boa on Windows 98 2nd edition,
using python 2.2. The program starts up and immediately windows
gives it's stupid error box.

"This program has performed an illegal operation
and will be shut down... blah blah blah..."

It is a pity that I am using a stupid Windows 98 machine
but my woes are for real apart from that. I can run a lot of python
code including IDLE, PythonWin, PyPE and the wxPython examples,
but Boa just refuses to work. For the time being I am stuck to it
since my Linux box refuses to boot up. :0(

The Boa version is 0.2.3, Python is 2.3 and wxPython is 2.4.1.2.
I also tried it for Python 2.2.3 with the rest of the configuration
remaining the same, again to no avail...

Here is the traceback. Not of any real use I guess, since the stupid
traceback does not even list the module which caused the fault.

PYTHON caused an invalid page fault in
module <unknown> at 0000:00000001.

available at

Try the wxPython version that does _not_ support Unicode.
Also don't forget to use the resource handle monitor (RSRCMTR.EXE).
