Heavy Weather Publsher quit reading data.
« on: January 10, 2009, 10:28:49 PM »
I got HW, HWR and HWP loaded and HW is working just fine, if you ignore HWR time being off by 6 hr.  HWP was working till about a week ago.  The program comes up and runs but does not display any data.  I have checked under options and I am pointing at jan2009.dat which is what HW is writing to.  I finely got a web sight that I can post to and now the program quits.

Frustrated.

You need to point the CURRDAT.LST file that HW is writing to rather than a history.dat file.

The history.dat is a binary file that is intended for use with HW and HW review only.

The currdat.lst file is a simple text file that you can view with an editor like notepad. This file is written once per minute by HW.

It is stored in the C:\Heavyweather folder.
