The Sinclair QL Forum

It would be interesting to know What system are you using? What ROM version? Are you using OPEN or FOPEN? Are you sure you close #5 before re-opening it? This looks very much like a file descriptor leak. (System runs out of descriptors because you forgot to close something you opened.) Tobias I'm u...

23.9 MByte (at the moment) for the most detailed palaeomaps.

I’ve found a bug in my program that I’m hoping someone can help me resolve, or at least point me in the right direction. I’ve written a Superbasic program to access a few megabytes of data using the Open and Close command to read in data from a few hundred files on a hard drive. The files contain ma...

You think 640K is enough...

I remember upgrading my Sinclair Z80 to 16k (up from 1k) and thinking no one could possibly need more.

Yes, I originally started with the basic program and then started to mess around with other options when it didn't work. I can't think what to try now. Have you just tried accessing Dilwyn's web site. Do you get the same problem with others? Does it work OK for you in QPC2? I don't know if your int...

A thought occurred to me that perhaps the IP channel was not being opened, or connected correctly. But not returning an error. The PRINT command would then fail, with an IP device driver error that QDOS did not expect from a PRINT command. So it just dumps you out of the program without an error ma...

Testing IP driver stuff on Qemulator is a bit awkward for me as I don't have the full version of Qemulator. However a couple of suggestions you could try. 1 If you know (or can find out) the actual IP address of the website you are connecting to. You could try something like OPEN_IN#3,"123.001...

Thanks for posting that info. I tried a few years ago to get the TCP working just for fun on Qemulator but couldn't figure it out. There are some web and email programs on the Qemulator web site and they run fine. However, when I try to access TCP via SuperBasic nothing seems to happen. I've run int...

Cheers, that looks neater than my version.
