But I remember Mike Thomlinson from Miracle Systems saying that the FLP_JIGGLE command was only required on a ED Disk drive set as FLP2. He also indicated that the ED Disk Drive head would be damage if it was set as FLP2 , if the FLP_JIGGLE command was not used. Strange that his warning did not fin...

DIR FLP1_ or DIR FLP2_ prompts the correct drives to attempt a directory read. Same is true for Format command.

I have it on a HOT_LOAD key, and just now disproved the assumption made in my previous message: Each HOT_LOAD instance loads a new copy of the program. (Funny the need was felt to add, and document, the "I" (for impure) parameter for HOT_LOAD then, as it doesnt make any sense.) Of course ...

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...
