Re: Advanced QL User Guide
Thanks are due to you too, Norm, for your e-zine! And for dispelling any lingering doubts about the myth that A1 is an active stack pointer! That myth has haunted the years of innocence and stout hearts of many of us who ventured to wrestle with the arcane mysteries of Qdos programming! Lead astray ...

Re: Q68 direct sector access
All seems to work well now, including the Rename program above.

Re: Q68 direct sector access
Thanks, Derek. Im not doing any more with that program since I have something much better in the pipeline ;) So feel free to do with it as you please. Now for some good news: It was a false alarm I raised! Direct sector access works on Q68 in the same way as on QPC2 and SMSQmulator - ! (At least for...

Re: Q68 direct sector access
I think there IS direct sector access, its just that I dont understand the partition table (if thats what Im seeing). It may just be FAT32 and available somewhere on the Internet - or even in the SMSQ/Q68 source code. But I have neither the time nor inclination to hack it if there is an easier optio...

Re: Q68 direct sector access
Hi Derek, that seems rather OTT. Use my routine instead of recreating the WIN drive any time you wish to alter the name.
As you say, on Q68 you get to specify a sensible name when you format the disk, however, there is no (easy) way to change that name once its set - for now.

Re: Q68 direct sector access
Thanks, but its getting to the image file that is the problem. I'll check with Wolfgang when he's back. I'm all for QL side programming, but if all you want is to change is the volume name of a few images, why not use the hex editor on a PC? I dont see why Id want to do that considering the routine...
