Any Known Issues with Mia 3.9705?

Hey folks,

It's been awhile. For those who remember me, I'm still writing Miva code
but only just now starting to tinker with Miva Mia. I installed the copy of
Miva Mia I had from waaaaaaaaay back in ... oh I don't even remember now.
It was v3.22. So I went poking around and found the exe (on Miva's FTP
site) to bring it up to Miva Mia 3.9705. After installation, I have Two
questions:

1) Are there any elements in Miva Mia that don't work the same in Empressa?
Or is there a document somewhere (that I haven't been able to find yet)
which describes the differences?

2) Are there any known issues with fdelete and/or sdelete in Miva Mia 3.9x?
Both work fine on the remote web server. But it appears sdelete does not
work on Miva Mia (local) or I have something setup wrong on my box based on
this result from diag.mv:

Test Script Directory [Run]

Writing temporary file to data directory: ok
Moving temporary file to script directory: ok
Testing MvDO: ok
Checking Results: ok
Cleaning up: Unable to delete '11077266061203.mv'

In case it is necessary, my system config is:

OS: Windows XP Pro (SP2)
Processor: 1833 megahertz AMD Athlon XP
Bus Clock: 166 megahertz
Memory: 1 gig

Can someone clue me in or point me in the right direction to figure it out?

Thanks!

Any Known Issues with Mia 3.9705?



It's probably a code issue. I still use Miva Mia (same version as you)
for development and testing for non-compiled scripts and have never
experienced a problem that was not code related when using
f/sdelete(...) functions.

Want to share your code?

Actually, I just noticed something in your flow below. If you MvDO a
file that you then want to sdelete(...), it's not going to happen in the
same page because the sdelete(...) thinks the file is in use. You'll
need to do it afterwards. If the file does not contain miva script,
then a better idea might be to MvIMPORT it and evaluate it line by line.

1) There should be no difference in the command set (as in
there are no <MvCOMMAND> that exists in Empresa but not in
Mia. About the only real difference is in system variables.
Some exist in Empresa that do not exist in Mia, and they
can give different answers.

Here is a chart:
<A HREF ="http://www.miva.com/docs/ScriptMan_html/18-SystemVariables.html#467709">http://www.miva.com/docs/ScriptMan_html/18-SystemVariables.html#467709</A>

2) It's probably not a MivaScript problem but a MS Windows
problem. Often MS Windows will think a file is still in use
even though nothing is actively connected to the file. If
the OS still thinks something is using the file, s/fdelete
will fail. I've also seen this happen with my text editor.

I would unzip something into a fresh directory. Fire up my
text editor (EditPlus) to view the README. Find out it's
not what I want do I close the text file, but leave
EditPlus running. When I go to try and delete the
directory, Windows says a file is still in use and fails.
It's not until I close EditPlus that I can delete the
directory.
