QDOS PE FileInfo II

Post by desin »

hello
SuperBasic is asleep (as a button)
now when executing a BASIC program in QPAC2 Files through FI2
it results in "invalid job"
is there a way to wake basic first ?

Greetings from Switzerland

This greatly depends on the language version of QPAC2 that you have installed (The sleeping jobs have different names in both versions).

Assumed you have the German files installed, you need to execute Menuconfig (not FI2Config) on the FileInfo2 executable to tell FI2 that's the case.

not so easy ......

Minerva 1.98 defaults to SuperBASIC
SMSQE defaults to System

Hi,

Since you are using Minerva, why use multibasic.

To launch from Superbasic interpreter, I use

EX pipep:;"program_bas>"

which sends the Superbasic program to a ready only pipe, which loads a Multibasic interpreter, only channel #0 open, so all channels 1-2 have to opened explicitly.

Fileinfo2 can be configured to execute bas files to use pipep or the multib_exe file.


Regards,

Derek
