I've been experimenting with using RPCEmu (0.8.9) rather than an Iyonix as
the basis for writing documents using TechWriter, etc. To do this I've been
writing the documents using TW on RPCEmu and then occasionally transferring
the result to the Iyonix in a zip. Up until today this has worked
perfectly. But I just encountered an odd problem.
Having carried upzipped a document on my Iyonix when I try to load it into
TW it fails with a TW error window that says
Could not open <filename> because: memory full
The document file is 1168K. About 1880 words *plus* a large PNG (1920 x
1080 pixels = 1146K)
The file loads into the same version of TW in the RPC emulator, running on
Linux (Xubuntu 11.10).
If I remove the PNG on the emulator side and save a file which only differs
by having the image removed, that *does* load OK into TW on the Iyonix.
Indeed, I can then drop the PNG back in place, save the result, and it then
is happily loaded again by TW.
So a version where I add the PNG in the emulator isn't openable for the
reason "memory full". But one where I add the same PNG on the Iyonix will
then load again OK into TW.
So why is this happening?
My Iyonix has 512MB of ram, and most of that is free. (The emulator has
256MB, again most of it free.)
FWIW I'm running RO 4.02 on the emulator, and using an old version of TW
(8.42). That may be a factor, and it may be due to some weird bug in
RPCEmu. But I am curious to know the cause as it could deter from using
RPCEmu.
Slainte,
Jim
