Hi,

Looks like I am getting MegaTK and QLMegaToolBox mixed up.

Here is QLMegaToolBox in ZIP format, the README_DOC file has been converted to README_TXT, this is only an errata, so the full manual is unavailable, unless someone has it to scan?
QLMegaToolBox.zip
QLMegaToolBox v1.21

I had no problem with the MDV file and successfully converted it int MDI file and is used on the Q68.


Regards,

Derek

I have the manual and I'll scan it and try to OCR it

QL Mega ToolBox Manuals - in Docx and pdf format
The pdf is low-res scan of the original manual - I can also provide on request a hi-res pdf, but it is a 28Mb file, so I did not loaded it here
The docx version is corrected, but I did not had enough time to proofread, so there still might be some OCR errors.

Hi Andrew,

Can not see the docx version of the manual, the zip file looks to be the MegaTooBox software.

I can run the PDF through the OCR software I use: OCRMYPDF

Hi,

Just had brief read of the PDF version of the Megatoolbox manual.

The added facilities look great, the DISPLAY command to allow different resolutions in different parts of the QL screen, looks interesting. There was a rountine in the Quanta Library that did this and ACT by Steve Sutton.

I think some of the added commands may clash with Toolkit 2 and SMSQ/E.

But maybe a good addition to Minerva without Toolkit 2


Regards,

Derek

Yes, you are right. Sorry.
I have edited my previous post and uploaded the correct docx zip file . Please download it again.
It was OCRed using ABBYY FineReader 12, and then corrected by me. I find that Abbyy makes a very good job of converting PDF to Word.

Hi Andrew,
Many Thanks I Have downloaded your Update can see the SuperBASIC files.
Loaded MegaToolkit on QPC2 no crashes.
Some of the SuperBASIC Procedures clash such as RESET etc.
Setting out the code to be more readable and renaming where necessary I hope to get working some of the DEMO128’s

Be intouch
