Failing to Open Window and Form

Dear all,

I desperately need your help. If you know anyone who can help, please assist me. I have been struggling to compile i4gl since migrated from Inform ix 4gl version 7.20 to 7.32. UC2. After having succeeded, of course with a lot of help to be where I am but, I can't execute the program. The program dumps when it is immediately run.

Upon investigation and a lot of trouble shooting Included the following code in the stand alone program:

OPEN WINDOW win_userable AT 5, 2

WITH 19 ROWS, 77 COLUMNS

ATTRIBUTE (BORDER)
OPEN FORM i_userable FROM "/srs-prps/ppsys/phaseI/forms/i_userable"
DISPLAY FORM i_userable

It crushed and I tried to run the debug and this what it produced.

430$ debug -ic core Ceasefm.4ge
Using Ceasefm.4ge as executable
Warning: No debugging information in Ceasefm.4ge
Core image of Ceasefm.4ge (process p1) created

What environmental variable or parameter can I use to over come this opening problem ? Can any one assist me with instructions on how to interpret the core dump ?

Thanking in anticipation.

Bye.
