Re: IQLR Scans
I think those IQLR' are from my scans. We have a guy here in the US that is loading a bunch of Timex/Sinclair stuff to the Internet Archive. He runs www.timexsinclair.com. I scanned IQLR a while back and sent him a CD with the scans. He believes that archive.org will be around longer than some of ou...

Re: sQLux v1.0 (The Xmas Turkey)
I have done what might be considered a more user-friendly sQLux User Guide with pictures. I have also created a QLX.win file to go with sQLux to get someone started. It comes with zip, Xchange, the Pointer Environment, and some other utilities. It will get someone new to the QL up and running. Both ...

Re: Happy QL Year
As I read these New Years messages, I realize I've got 4 more hours to go before New Years.

Re: unexpanded 128k ql emulation and mdv files
There are three virtual drives for the QL, MDV, FLP and QLX.win. The floppy images that I've used were created using dd to copy the floppy to a single file. I've not dealt with MDV images. Since we are talking about emulators there, why not just use QXL.win files and use MDV and FLP images as read o...

Re: QPC2 - screen overlaying ?
Check out PHGTK (PHoton General ToolKit, including FJPEG, FGIF and FPNG) under the Graphic section of Dilwyn's page. It has a function to write an image (scr I think) to the QL screen. There also a way to convert .jpg to .scr. I used it in one program, but I was not using the PE.

Re: 50 Years of BASIC
I've been looking at the first published Othello program (Byte, Oct. 77). Looking at it's code, I've been trying to figure out what version of BASIC it was written for. It has some syntax differences than the BASIC's that I used. The manual's for early versions of BASIC can be found on the Internet....

Re: QL Cryptography
I think PGP probably needs extra memory. I ran it a few times many years ago. Pretty sure I had a Gold Card then. Jonathan was good at porting a number of Unix tools to the QL (and so did a few others). Probably the most impressive is Perl 4.

SMSQzine #8 & SSB 2.7.2
SMSQzine issue #8 has been posted to my website. The direct link is: http://swensont.epizy.com/smsqzine08.pdf http://swensont.epizy.com/smsqzine08.zip I've also updated Structured SuperBASIC to version 2.7.2. I'm not sure if 2.7.1 got released, but it allowed for comments at the end of a line. I als...

Re: QL Cryptography
I think it was Jonathan Hudson that ported over Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) to the QL. There was a time when PGP was considered a munition and had export controls. I'm sure there is now better levels of encryption, but for the QL, PGP is about as good as it gets.

Re: sQLux Foibles
Two things that I have done is to have a couple of pre-built configuration files. When I run one of the shell scripts, it just copies one of the pre-defined config files to the main config file and then fires up sQLux. I think have a desktop link to the script so I have an item on my desktop that I ...
