I wonder how this scheme of using a DOS batch file would work with QPC2 running under Wine. I also wonder if this is portable to other emulators like SMSQmulator.

I've tested this with SMSQmulator 2.24, using only the local system and it worked. I did the PSERVE command and then the Ping command and got back the string that I entered in PSERVE. What about making a more normal version of PING where you ping an IP address (ICMP request) and see if you get a res...

You can use qxltool from Jonathan Hudson to create a QLX.win file and then access it via qxltool to create directories. When testing uQLx, I found that where were times that it could handle directories and times when it could not. IIRC, reading directories is fine, but writing to them had a problem....

There is old joke about the headline "man eating tiger". It is a man eating a tiger, or a tiger that eats a man. Despite what code will run, it is best to wrote code that is clear about that is intended. Adding the right "END IF's" can be critical and should be done for clarity. ...

Well, that was 30 years ago. IIFRC, I had the ICE rom installed and used that to fire up my program. I recall him liking the QL, but no details. This was the professor that taught my Graphics course and had Sun-2 workstations in his office.

In the second example, you are loading DBAS_sys twice. Could that be the issue? Remove it from the procedure and see if it works.

By the time the QL hit the US market, all of the hardware issues had been ironed out. When I got mine in April of 1986, I liked that I two storage devices. Granted they were kind of slow, but floppy drives were still expensive on those days. The QL Vision monitor was the best that I had seen on the ...
