Re: Rounding in QSpread
hi Tim, I'm amazed some people still tinker with it and find these things :) yes, you're right - and the reason for this rounding is that the QL internal floating point routines are not that precise. You actually see the same in SuperBASIC when you PRINT the two numbers: PRINT 123456.5 PRINT 1234567...

Re: SMSQ/E builds with QPC but not with SMSQmulator?
another quick update: Wolfgang has tracked down the problem to SMSQEmake, so nothing is wrong with the Thing system itself but it seems the way it was called with EXEP and worked mostly only by accident in the different screen modes. With a new version it now works like it should. I guess this one w...

Re: SMSQ/E builds with QPC but not with SMSQmulator?
just a quick update: Wolfgang could reproduce it and is narrowing down the problem. It's partly based on the .ini (only changes are mode 4, full screen 2, double pixel setup) and so far looks like a memory issue with the ERT HOT_RES of QMAC. Commenting that out makes it work but it's still unclear (...

Re: SMSQ/E builds with QPC but not with SMSQmulator?
Ok, I' ve got it - after testing various permutations and disabling all boot files and removing all win devices, disabling all unneeded device drivers I gave it a last shot: It's the Colour Mode setting: I invariably run with the normal QL 4 colours on all my devices. Switching to Aurora or 16 bit m...

Re: Chromebook
I have SMSQmulator running on my Google Pixelbook (i5) - the display size makes it very small even with double scaled pixels on, but it works great. WIth newer Intel Chromebooks there is no need to go into developer mode. You can just activate the Linux sandbox and then install whatever you need as ...

SMSQ/E builds with QPC but not with SMSQmulator?
Hello Friends... I have a curious situation, maybe somebody else ran into this: I try to recompile SMSQE (3.34, latest .win from Wolfgang's site) and it compiles happily on QPC2 (of course it would) but then trying the same under SMSQmulator (Java8 version, again latest from Wolfgangs site, Linux or...

Re: Delete - vapourware book
Interesting - I wasn't yet aware of the book but the photo is well known from Ricks Flicker Album "QL and beyond" https://www.flickr.com/photos/9574086@N02/sets/72157600854938578 Also the "Pandora to Z88" has interesting designs. Does the book offer anything in addition to the Fl...

Re: Current availability of replacement Microdrive faam/felt?
hmm. mine are holding up fine. I'm using a super sharp hobby cutter and board and do slightly larger pieces 3x4mm. they work fine here and are only slightly fuzzy around the edges
