The Sinclair QL Forum

Hello Dilwyn, I have a question about the executable header of the files.I have backuped all my readable microdrives using a custom made PC program over the serial line of the QL.I have done this with the command "copy mdv1_filename to ser2z" and the command sends a 14 bytes header over t...

We have now reached agreement with Pyramide's former owner to re-release some of their titles as commercial programs. The first of these to be released is the well respected F1 motor racing game, QL VROOM. Cost is £5 for a copy on disk - available from: http://www.sellmyretro.com/offer/details/Sin...

Hi, my configuration is: standard QL with issue 7 board, Rom Minerva ver 1.98 + TKII ver 2.13 + Sandy fdd interface with 512k ram on board and another TKII: I've tried to transfer some of demo program stored in Dilwyn site to floppy disk and run it but often when there is a bytes part to load with ...

Um, most are int here somewhere but bnot all are specific entries. I'll add them explicitly when I get time.

I have instead copied the unzip program file to a Windows directory under q-emulator and then zipped it up - simply unzip it to your desktop, and point Q-emulator's mdv1_ to the folder unzip on your desktop. You can get hold of this version of unzip from : http://www.rwapsoftware.co.uk/downloads/qe...

A few "terms" you're likely to run into on a QL if you start using pointer environment. I've seen some "ambiguous" uses of terms such as QPTR, so hopefully this little list of terms will help you use the right terms when asking for help with something. Pointer Environment - the g...

I do wonder whether this should be setup to download the daily digest direct to the QL-users mailing list - mind you, a lot of people on their will not bother going to the forums to answer! I know what you mean. Although I read the RSS feed more or less daily (time permitting) sometimes I skip a re...

I've been reading this Forum's postings by using the RSS Feeds button in Internet Exploder. Works well enough and easily enough. I wanted to try receiving the postings of the Forum by email, like the ql-users mailing list, using Outlook Express. Here's how I did it, and I wonder what took me so long...

I thought it may therefore be useful to see if anyone has any suggestions as to how this can be improved - maybe Dilwyn could provide a copy of the unzip program ready to use in Q-emuLator (as I eventually did). Good idea. I have QemuLator so I should be able to do this if I can figure out how to m...

I know that the self extracting zip file can be very buggy and I had endless battles with it. In the end Dilwyn helped me out with that little manual program to sort it for you. Rob had similar issues, it's a very tricky step for your first steps onto the QL :? Sadly, the self-extract (SFX) version...
