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!

Re: Q68 direct sector access

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.
