Is FTN95, version 8.70.0.0 fully compatible with the Windows 11 operating system? If not, which later versions of FTN95, if any, are compatible with Windows 11?
Windows 11?
I'm using FTN95 on WIN-11.
Works great!
Bill
There are no known issues with Windows 11 and FTN95 is fully supported for this operating system.
There have been several revisions of the compiler and tools that were made available and these are more recent than the version 8.70 that you have, 'dfwlms'. See the sticky thread at the top of the Support subforum, https://forums.silverfrost.com/Forum/Topic/3780 .
I have a few Windows 11 users complaining that my app causes problems - usually when opening a file. I am now using the new %cd format code rather than get_filtered_file@ and wonder whether this may be causing any of the problems.
simon, can you describe the problem they are having?
I've used both extensively. They differ only in the way that, internally, the file name is asked for. Once the file name is supplied, there isn't an issue. I will say there are nuances to using %cd that one needs to be cognizant of when developing a 'wrapper' to surround the %cd use(s).

Hi Bill, One user is getting an error message from the Fortran open command. I'm not 100% certain, but am guessing this is the error message 146 that you commented on before: https://forums.silverfrost.com/Forum/Topic/2932&highlight= I have asked them to check whether they have dropbox running. Another user simply said the app hung, but ran ok again when he restarted it. That could be anything! Anyway, I'm going to try your idea of repeated attempts at reopening of the file ... Thanks, Simon
Paul, you write, that Windows 11 and ftn95 work together without problems. What about the underflow issue for Windows 11 version 24H2 (see support, Problem with ftn95 v 9.95)? Has this issue been solved? KL

Please see https://forums.silverfrost.com/Forum/Topic/4536.
The latest release of FTN95 for supported users is v9.10. In this release Win32 underflows are masked by default which means that Win32 underflows no longer cause a problem. Earlier versions of FTN95, when used with Win32 and Windows 11 24H2 require a call to mask_underflows@().
I got also some complaints from users which seem to be connected with Windows 11 and filtered_file. The program crashes not directly when a file is opened or saved but shortly after it (maybe a part of the memory is damaged and causes problems afterwards?). I don't have those problems on my machine.
However, when I compile the program with /checkmate, it crashes with the message "Exception 0xE06D7363" when I try to open a file .
Unfortunately I am not yet able to reproduce this error with a simple program.
I have had some problems with this as well.
I began using the %cd options, and surrounding it with code to accommodate how the calling routines are written. I use the same calling sequence as get_filtered_file, and includes an additional parameters, the handle to the calling programs window.
I can trim out the stuff that is unique to my situation and leave it pretty bare bones if there is a need/want.
Since starting to use this, I have had no situations where the program crashes (without indicating an error).

0xE06D7363 is an uncaught C++ exception. When you say 'open a file' do you mean show the open file dialog or try to open it afterwards?

The program crashes when I open the file dialog. %cd also crashes during a Checkmate debug session. I am currently using the drag-and-drop option %dr as a workaround.
Is anyone able to construct and post a short sample program that illustrates the failure?
