I checked the properties and it did have "Close on Exit" checked. When I
choose About from the Help menu, it says that I have version 2.1.3.
Just out of curiosity I tried a few things like running PARTPROF from a DOS
command line and executing the DIR command that PARTPROF.BAT does directly on
the command line. Both of them worked OK as far as I could tell. I also
opened CurParts.prf and it had what I would have expected it to have. Then I
tried starting LDAO and while it was stuck in the VEC check I erased ppdone.flg
from a DOS window. That worked pretty much the same way as unminimizing
PARTPROF.BAT and stopped the runaway VEC check.
I guess the one thing that I haven't really tried is making the VEC to see if
that fixed the problem, but I ran into some other problems (errors from LDRAW,
I think) and it takes so long that I couldn't really do much testing in that
regard.
Thanks for looking at this problem.
