... the SBLocals directory has a C68 source file which emulates thecway the SuperBASIC handles locals ... ... (If anyone is even slightly interested!) Sounds interesting, especially C68Port (Digital Precision?). Does this finally work? I have had bought it, but It didn't work. At least not with my ...

Hi Steve, There was a fix for the LOCals bug : erzero=one: if erzero<>0: print 'error': stop ... Albeit I don't fully understand your (not complete?) example, I think it's because local variables in SuperBASIC are not really local variables as in other languages (e.g. C or Python). See the following...

I then swapped drives, putting MDV1_ on MDV2_'s slot and vice versa. I have determined that there is power only on the left slot, so I can be pretty sure that there is no power on the right one. Could someone of you give me some suggestions on what I could measure, and possibly a diagram of the vol...

TurboFix was my code - I should have the sources here somewhere That's Good! Than it should be easy to port BASIC_INDEX% to S/MultBASIC. I think the main problem is to get the name table. I have did it always via asking the System Variables for the start of the name table. But this seems not to be ...

First try (in SuperBASIC) for a BASIC replacement (ssems to work). I even have a batch (SB without line numbers) for that, but this needs testing). 100 REMark Preparation of a oneliner (for a batch file) to search the 110 REMark BASIC namelist for a name 140 : 180 : 1000 REMark Start of main() progr...

p.s.: Of course much thanks to Marcel! Without him QDOS wouldn't be, what it is today. p.p.s.: One main problem is the maximum path length limit, which unfortunately is deeply built into the OS :‑| There is an (virtual?) Internet Filing System without the (horrible) length limitation of QDOS pathnam...

These, most 2 important commands should ALWAYS exist in Your bootfile: 1: PE_BGON : REMark Enables that windows in background do not stop when they are doing output to screen (e.g. a Window). [First seen on Minerva with additional Software, e.g. Pie or Pex] 2: WM_MOVEMODE 2 : REMark Many (most?) pro...

I have now tested it with TurboFix_bin. Also doesn't work in additional SBASIC jobs.

Didn't know about the origin parameter for WMON, good hint. But back to topic about BASIC_INDEX% which may be used for other useful things. Can it be fixed with TurboFix or is there a similar command which works with SBASIC or MultiBASIC (BTW: I have not yet tested it with MultBASIC) jobs other than...
