The Sinclair QL Forum

Thank you Jan! I have known, that it's possible with Machine code functions. But this is a bit uncomfortable. But as I'm normally using QPC2, that's no problem.

Is it possible to buy the Tedroid devices officially?

I'm still working on the cc compiler driver for EJC and have now found the problem, why the error messages from Pass 1 of the Lattice compiler are not output (neither to screen, nor to the redirection file). Short descriptions of the problem for experts only: Lattice C has NOT any knowledge about th...

Unfortunately there's one strcpy() function used (often), which I don't understand: Note that strcpy is defined: char *strcpy(char *dest, const char *src) Aarrrgggghhhhh! I't's long ago I used C, I now use always C++, where there is normally no need for strcpy (C++ has real strings), so I thought t...

try EX CC,#1;"-c hello_c 2>ram1_error_txt" This creates 'ram1_error_txt', but the file is empty (length 0) :-( As the source code for the cc compiler driver is delivered (I have had already compiled it successfully :-), I will have a look, what's going wrong. Unfortunately there's one str...

OK, I'll solve :-) It was quite obvious when you have the QL in front of you but almost impossible to guess when not... though Tobias analysis came close with problems in the upper area. Anyway, I forgot to remove the internal QL-SD before plugging the external one in. So there were two ROMs runnin...

THANK YOU! I think I must finally install QLiberator again. Also not absolutely necessary with QPC2 (you can EX SB programs now, and they have about the same speed). The advantage is, that they are real executable apps, where you must not be afraid to begin editing, because you have just found anoth...

But a more expanded meaning - original QL case and using the original video circuitry. This allows for expansions within the case. Technically Qimi / Minerva / Hermes / QL-SD are all expansions within the machine, and some AT keyboard interfaces fitted internally too - but the 'computer' was still ...

Thank you. It seems to be a set of libraries and maybe a modified linker but no parser or code generator... I have written it in my post "The Lattice C compiler phase 1 and 2 are not included of course", and a WARNING is written in extra large letters on the download site, that you must o...

Where can you find information on EJC C-Compiler? Nowhere, I'm afraid. It was apparently a rip-off of the Lattice C compiler of dubious legal status that circulated in the 90ies. It is absolutely legal if you own the original "Metacomco C Development Kit" (MCDK) which is based on the famo...
