The Sinclair QL Forum

The only QDOS setup I have here to test is QemuLator with JS ROM. A very quick test with this shows that Q_ERR_ON seems to work on that system at least, both interpreted and compiled: Obviously, it's only a quick test on a QDOS emulator, not a real BBQL. My compiled test was done on a BBQL with SGC...

In QLIB 3.45 the Q_ERR_ON/OFF keywords are now in an extensions file called QERR_bin, linked in with $$asmb=win1_QERR_bin,0,10 in case that's the issue you're having. OK. thanks. Oops, I never noticed the Q_ERR commands had jumped bins. So I compiled a new built with the correct _bin. The _obj stil...

I compiled a new version of BMP with the latest Qlib v3.45 on QPC2v5 with SMSQ/E v3.38. As it was also meant to run under QDOS I did some tests there and ran into a problem. The Q_ERR_ON keyword produced a "bad name" error, even when the loaded Qlib_run was also the latest version. Testing...

SHermesNL.zip Thank you Klaus! I shall turn my attention to the Dutch KB layout for Stephan's Matrix to PS/2 converter once I'm done with French/Italian & Spanish :-) Do you happen to have the Dutch version of the Concepts section of the QL User Guide - in particular, the keyboard mappings tabl...

Hi Bob, The BMP documentation says nothing about Turo Toolkit. I would mainly use SMSQ/E, on SMSQmulator, Q68. The whole point is that Turbo is not used by BMP but can cause this problem on non SMSQ/E systems. So far most SMSQ/E specific keywords are avoided or embedded in an : IF "HBA" :...

Hi Bob, BMP works great with SMSQmulator, QPC2, Q68 running SMSQ/E 3.38, which has Turbo_SMS_Code (v3.44) But with sQLux running Minerva v1.98 and Turbo_TK_Code (v3.44), gives the same error as above. Thanks Derek for pointing this out. So far all the BMP updates have been done under SMSQ/E and thi...

Hi, When executing the BMP viewer from command line, the manual and updates are suggesting that I can use: EX BMP104_OBJ;'%U%\nasa05_pic' to view a PIC file unscaled If I use: EX BMP104_OBJ;"\win1_nasa05_pic' the program asks for scaling, is there a command line option for Scaling to be enable...

hello i get this "PEEK$ Error" on QPC2 , sQLux , Qemulator BMP104.png Continue works Greetings from Switzerland Markus This is most likely a Turbo Toolkit error. The PEEK$ command in Turbo has a different syntax from the SMSQ version. On QPC2 or any SMSQ/E system you need the the correct ...

Which image viewers allow viewing Mode 32 and Mode 33? Upadate: Answered my own question I was able to view PIC file generated on the Q60 on QPC2 and SMSQmulator with QuickView by Per Besides Per's QuickView there are a few more options: 1. As Dilwyn said, BMP can show mode 33 on a mode 32, or mode...

A simple value doubling or left shift will make the 6-bit. Replication the high bit into the low bit finishes it off. Is this documented somewhere or just a guess? Each extra bit doubles the range so a 1-bit left shift for each sample does the trick. The formula I quoted earlier should also work. T...
