Lucide oddity

Show all headers | View raw

I have two OS/2 systems, one at home, one at work, that both
run Warp 4.52, and although it has been years, I'm pretty sure
they both have the same set of FixPaks applied.

I downloaded Lucide version 1.3.2 on both machines and installed
it on both.  The program object was placed in the WarpCenter
tray on both systems.

On my home system, I can click on the WarpCenter icon, Lucide
will launch, and then I can click on the Open Document icon,
which will present me with an open file dialog, and I can
select a file from the list and open it just fine.

On my office system, I can click on the WarpCenter icon, Lucide
will launch, but as soom as I click on the Open Document icon,
Lucide disappears.  However, if I go to a windowed command
prompt and type "lucide some_pdf_file.pdf", Lucide will launch
and open the file just fine.  It's clicking on the Open Document
icon that causes it to crash.

I'm puzzled why there is a difference in behavior between my
two systems.  I actually transferred all the Lucide files from
one machine to the other and did a file comparison on all of
them.  They are identical, except for Lucide.fcf (the font
configuration file), which I assume is different because the
two machines have a different set of fonts installed on them.

Yet Lucide works properly when started from the command line
on my office system, so that suggests to me that the different
font configuration file isn't responsible for Lucide crashing
on my office system.  I'm suspecting that there is some system
file that is different between the two systems, but where to
look?

Any suggestions?
