Howdy all,
I've got a problem indicating my own shortcomings, I suspect. I've got a very simple program that I cooked up to find positions of pairs of integers in a certain recursive tree. The meat of the code (while using recursion) is less than 50 lines and nothing exciting happens. I dreamed it up using C in Ubuntu, but then rewrote it on Visual Basic (what the university has available) in order to make a nice GUI form for the end user (in the music department ... short version --- he's using recursion to make a musical composition). But of course I didn't check, and of course he has a mac. So I should just be able to drop the exe in winebottler and all will be well. When I do so, it creates a prefix successfully (that is, if I just tell it to put the exe file in an app ... if I try to install with winebottler using the whole published package, it says it can't find the app file, or something). Once done, the windows pops up and things seem to work well. I can enter values, but then when I press the "compute" button on my form, the window just disappears! Does anyone know what stupid thing I am doing wrong? I suppose that I could re-code the whole mess on the mac, but I'm not actually a programmer ... and I (finally, after much sweating) have a working version on the PC.
Thanks.
