Assuming this is even possible, this might be a worthy development project for the future hardware QL.

2) It is very simple to share .WIN files among the QPC, Q-Emulator and Mister. The Q68, again, is a bit of an outsider, because of the way it handles .WIN files. I am not sure what you mean here, the WIN files or QWA container file is the same QWA file I use on QPC2 and SMSQmulator. Hi Derek, What ...

Q68 is definitely the way forward, if you Peter have some time I vote for Q68 enhancements: Cache, sound, Network, possibility to update core. Pity, i noticed that only 50 people voted to Poll for new hardware out of 700 members Hi all, Here's my 2c, FWIW, I have FOUR QL environments to play with -...

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Following them, I have actually been able to write an (as yet small and useless) basic extension that returns a string :) Once you've written a couple of functions, you'll end up copying and pasting your own subroutines in future projects and soon forget all the ...

Thanks!

With regards to literature, there's lots of examples in many books. Unfortunately, there's no such thinks as StackExchange for QDOS where you can simply go and copy code from ;) The most important difference between returning strings and returning scalar variables is: There is none - it works exact...

DIY Toolkit is an excellent suggestion! I knew I was forgetting something...

I remember typing some of these in from QL World, when the world was young

Thanks again,

Hi Norm, Your excellent book is my main source of information and has got me, as of now, to the stage where I can write some simple programs on my own. I haven't read through the entire book yet, but I intend to keep at it. However, I couldn't find the answers to my specific questions anywhere in th...

Hi all, I am making (yet) another effort to learn QL assembly language programming. I am attempting to write an basic extension which contains a function and have come up against two questions which I can't find the answers to: 1) How do you return a string from a function? i have found mentions of ...

Just to add something on the theme of German Psion software. I wasn't 100% sure before but have now checked in more detail and I can confirm that the German versions of the Psion suite are also restricted to only work on a German QL (i.e. with MGG ROM) just like the French versions are restricted f...
