Re: SMSQ/E Source Reading

Hi Marcel, I disagree on it being hard to read. I agree, it doesn't read like a good book, or perhaps, some higher level languages, but in the main, I find it "not too bad" to read. Having said that, I get annoyed/confused/whatever with the use of really short labels what are pretty much l...

Re: SMSQ/E Source Reading

I have been reading the SMSQ/E source code files, which I find very good and specific 68000 assembly language reference material. I get the impression that I'm probably the only person in the world who finds Tony's code extremely hard to read! I suppose it must be me that's "at fault" the...

Re: Circuit diagram errata...

Re: A question about OPEN

Am I missing something here? I wouldn't be surprised, it happens. ;) Over at http://qdosmsq.dunbar-it.co.uk/doku.php?id=qdosmsq:traps:trap_2:open I see that D1 has to be the job id for the owner of the file being opened.
