Does anyone have a pointer to a source for a suitable replacement foam/felt for Microdrive cartridges? I'm using these https://www.ebay.com/itm/8-Track-Tape-Replacement-Felt-Pads/252762966703 - I've refelted over 60 cartridges now and so far they are holding up nicely. My only issue is the shipping...

The SMSQ/E manual includes the following text: QLiberators EXTERNals do not work If you have compiled own procedures and functions using QLiberator, which you want to load using LRESPR, then you have to patch QLIB_RUN and QLIB_OBJ first to make them work. You will find two BASIC programs with the s...

In SMSQ/E just: poke !!$e4,%10000 Theres a similar poke for Qdos, IIRC. Of course, it applies system wide, not to any particular SBASIC, which is what I thought you were asking. Check out the systems variables. There are some more keys there concerning break. sys_klock would be an interesting copy ...

oh, interesting - thanks for the pointer

I finally found a bit of dedicated time during the hols for SMSQ on the Q68 (sweet thing it is) and QPC. EX'ing a _bas file makes me smile every time I think about it, very nicely done indeed - almost no reason to do _asm anymore... :) especially for filters! Does anybody know a way to disable or ca...

The image i...

QSpread is one of best QL Applications. thanks (blush) ;) Is it possible to write macros using SBASIC? no - that would have been a very complex undertaking at the time. I don't know how a job could call into SBASIC - maybe it's possible now, but it was written partly on/for SMS2 which didn't even h...

I'm happy to announce today that I'm releasing QSpread 3.02 and it's sources and it's now available on GitHub (MIT License). It is written as GST MAC assembler code with additional tools like QMake or from the early SMS build toolchain. As you can't probably build it yourself (yet) the corresponding...

and now by popular request QL GARDENER (I didn't even knew it existed before yesterday)
