Re: PE Programming for dummies

Thank you DIlwyn for the examples and source code you sent me! They were invaluable in understanding how EasyPtr works. I have used them in my program. My first PE program is almost ready.

Re: PE Programming for dummies

Re: unexpanded 128k ql emulation and mdv files

Everything you look for is here: http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/
A good emulator for the unexpanded QL is QEmulator, but it has only Windows and MacOS versions. Zesarux works under Linux, but I have not used it (I do not use Linux)
QPC2 is the best emulator for expanded SMSQE machine
