Re: PE Programming for dummies
... (I actually don't know what version of appman I use - It's the one I bought a long time ago...) Tofro, Judging from the "APPMAN MANAGER" image you posted earlier, it's a High Colour version 4.0x and the 60 bytes offset has not changed in that. Andrew, The resident Ptrmen code loaded i...

Re: Graphics program for SMSQ/E
I have already decoded large parts of the assembler extension for fun and no profit. If there is any _PIC compression going on it seems to be hidden in the basic parts. Among the Extra keywords you mentioned before I found S_SAVE & S_LOAD which are also part of a Quanta Lib SCREEN routine by Ro...

Re: Graphics program for SMSQ/E
Despite its standard menu size of 512x256, Qdesign is capable of creating pages (_pgn) in fixed resolutions up to 960x640 and more (max 3200x4800). The PIC format it uses is based on the QPTR PSA standard but deviates at two places to allow for monochrome and compression. It would be nice to know ex...

The only result is this: 2.jpg Is there a different way to change the theme/ colors? Are you sure the theme is meant for the mode 4 your Launchpad is running in? The wh...

Re: Scaling an entire screen
This could make an ideal task for QLiberator. The new commands could be compiled as QLIB Externals, to be LRESPRd in the boot file. Also, In the boot file, the original SuperBASIC commands could be redirected to use the new ones, using something like ... 100 DEFine PROCedure redirect(a$, b$) 110 LO...

Re: Expanding the QL's address space beyond 1M (+primer on building QL compatible machines)
The I/O subsystem: 8302 ULA and IPC ... I remember having trouble using Albin Hessler's serial mouse together with a printer on my QL issue 6. His suggestion was to cut the connection between pins 6 of Ser1 & Ser2 and add an extra 680 Ohm (R10) from pin 6 of Ser2 to the 12V line. This prevented...

Re: QXL.WIN (the domain name).
Hi Chr$, Congratulations on your new site. I am sure Tony Firshman is happy to get a mention on there but being put under the label of "QL Games & Software" is not what he expected. He was an important hardware man for the QL with Hermes, SuperHermes, ROMdisq etc. and of course repairi...

Unlimited, I like that. Thanks.EmmBee wrote:The latest QLiberator is here.
This addresses the limit on the number of assembler files that can be locally included.
...This effectively makes the number of files that can be included unlimited.

Re: QLiberator v3.42
I have not yet used any of the Qlib 3.37+ versions but reading the Readme file up to 3.42 no mention is made of the $$asmb= limits and I cannot remember if it has been addressed before. Only 8 code files can be added this way at compile time. Is it possible to extend this limit in 3.43? BSJR I've t...

Re: QL Art
Comparing the two images there appear five lines of rubbish at the start minus an offset of 32 pixels. I guess some header info got translated as well, so conversion should start at +5x256 -32 pixels, in bytes for the Tiff. That's what I'd assumed - but then I'd also assumed that the four values in...
