WinBatch Compiler Error 3088: FileRead: Attempt to Read Past End of File

Question:

I just purchased WinBatch+Compiler (haven't received DOC yet), and am trying to figure out how to integrate extenders (without having to ship them).

On Interactive Mode, if I click on the Extenders... button, I get a dialog box:

	3088: FileRead: Attempt to read past end of file.

	(or 1591:  FileRead: Line Too Long)

	DX2=FileRead(DX)

	WinBatch 32 Compiler 97D
	Wil Version: 2.4dbp

Any suggestions as to what file is causing the problem?

Answer:

NOTE: Starting in WinBatch 2001A, the Compiler .DAT file extensions were changed to .EXT file extensions

1. If you get this during a compile, then this would probably be a bad *.DAT (*.EXT) file in your \WinBatch\System directory.

   Each DAT (EXT) file in the WinBatch /System directory should be 2 lines long. Apparently there is one in there that is only 0 or 1 lines long, causing great grief.

2. Delete any zero-length *.DAT files in your Winbatch\System subdirectory,and try again.

3. Also make sure you don't have any *.DAT (*.EXT) files in your Winbatch\System directory that are not Winbatch DAT files (Winbatch DAT files should all be 1K).
