The files are icompatible between PC and QL. They have different header flags in the furst 4 bytes if I remember correctly -but I might be wrong. The character sets are different. I have tried XChange for PCs some years ago and could read my QL-Archive files also there. A major difference is that i...

If there was any documentation, I no longer remember. Its too long ago. All my physical stuff is elsewhere so I cant check. Someone else please pipe up! The QD manual does not explain anything but there is a small chapter in the SMSQ/E manual: "The SBASIC Interface Thing" (page 33). A wor...

The last QSpread version I got from JMS is 4.04 dated 17/04/2005. I am not aware of any later update.

.... The _PIC format after all is just an on-disk version of the PE's internal save area data structure and putting stuff in front of it breaks the structure. The same is true for EasyPtr by the way, check out the description of WSAIN. A more compatible approach would be for example to set an addit...

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't quite get what's the advantage of this proposed format in contrast to a sprite with no mask (which is something I specifically implemented for this usage scenario). Cheers, Marcel When a PIC is unpacked to a buffer it can be partially shown in a window with ...

For those not on the QL-Users List, with the SMSQ/E 3.36 update there is also a new version of this emulator.

Hi, Thank you the information, which does make sense. But, when I load Gold.bin (SMSQ/E v3.36) on a SuperGold Card, JS Rom, the boot process goes into a boot loop, unless I use an IF statement to test for SMSQ/E. How do I load SMSQ/E without an IF statement? Does the QL ROM have a bearing on this? ...

...Yes, but you need UV light to erase. If you do it seldom, even sunlight might be an option. Do blank check before trying to program. So far I have only needed it once for my Thor and used the Z88 Eprom eraser to clear the old data. I made a small adapter out of cardboard to make sure the UV ligh...

<> Normally it's not a feature I would use but as it's allowed it should be accepted by Qlib for END FOR (& END REP & NEXT) or at least produce an alert at compile time. I agree that this should be flagged, but as above, making it SMSQ/E compatible might not be easy, especially if the resul...

Hi everyone, We now consider the next round of improvements, bug fixes, etc. Here is the list so far ... As a big fan of Qlib I must congratulate all who contribute to this project. I have not yet tested it but would like to see a few issues fixed in any final 3.37. 1. The INSTR_CASE keyword as fea...
