Re: [Swarm-Support] error with Save

[Pietro Terna]

        Dear Scott,

        many thanks for you reply: the error comes with all the 
applications, also with simple tutorial ones, as SimpleObserverBug 
(which does not use long long).

        May be that the routine writing the .swarmArchiver file 
(that contains the Save effect) uses a long long: the file is 
interrupted before writing a number.

        I underline, as below, the the error is generated only using 
the newest version of the javaswarm.dll file.

        The best, Pietro
