The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
Did you ever consider opening a PMR? There are functions which have
problems, but the SupportLine folks and the developers are quite good at
getting things fixed when they aren't functioning as expected.

I suppose a hard-coded divide by zero in your startup routine isn't a
huge
impact on a long-running program. If it's a sub-program that you call
over
and over again it might be a little uglier.
Your point is well-taken - for a main program it isn't a big deal but for
a
sub-routine I would have to set up a first-time-through-switch to only do
it
the first iteration.
I really don't like "hacks" like that but if that is my only option I will
do so. I just can't believe that there is not a proper way to get that
area
populated other than forcing a "fake" error.
