Members

Wow, 67 members from all over Europe and USA!

Does the system store any information on where the members are? It'd be interesting to have a breakdown by country (without identifying individual members).

Re: Strange problem with Display Toolkit and Q-emuLator

Re: How to show a JPEG or PNG picture in a window?

I'm writing a program in SBASIC (with QPC2 on Debian+Wine), and I need it to show some grey scale pictures in a window. I've found Photon (by Dave Westbury). I haven't tried it yet, but it seems it only shows JPEGs on the whole screen and doesn't provide a keyword to load a picture into a window. T...

Re: How to LRUN without clearing the screen?

RWAP wrote:Yes - load a short boot program and then use MRUN instead of LRUN to load the rest of the SuperBASIC program.

I forget the equivalent in QLOAD.
SBASIC on SMSQ/E has QMERGE, QMRUN, QLRUN and QSAVE_O

These are like MERGE, MRUN, LRUN and SAVE_O but work ont he "_sav" files.
