The Sinclair QL Forum

Volume P of DIY Toolkit has some general parameter handling extensions - not specifically what you were looking for, but some assembler code to study in general.

I watched tonight's episode - I think it will appeal to a new younger viewer, but might struggle to appeal to fans of the original series like me. I'll reserve judgement until I've seen a few more episodes. It does have potential, as long as the storylines are good. Interesting that Parker is still ...

Anybody planning on watching the new Thunderbirds series on ITV at 5pm (UK time) tonight? Used to be a big fan as a child. Can't believe it's about 50 years since the original puppet-based series came out. Wonder how the cgi will compare to the original "super-marionation". Shame the creat...

Here's the Spectrum-QL article, OCRed from QL User. Layout not the same, but hopefully makes sense.

Looking at the paper versions of the Toolkit 2 (I'm looking at Gold Card manual from Miracle Systems) it seems consistent with the paper versions of the manual.

(Not saying it's right of course, just saying the paper and eBook versions look the same)

Forgot to suggest alternative syntax to try for FLP_USE, since it complains of 'channel not open'. You try putting the new device name in quotes, e.g. FLP_USE "mdv" instead of FLP_USE mdv If that doesn't work, try FLP_USE #channel,"mdv" On some systems, FLP_USE by itself without ...

Hmm, I've never seen FLP_USE give a 'channel not open' error before. Either the syntax is different in this particular version, or it gives additional credence to RWAP's suggestion that this might be a home brew rom, with extensions not linked fully correctly. The ATR driver and Level-2 Upgrade ROMs...

I still haven't found what I needed... i.e. if I wanted to draw a circle and fill it with a color, how should I do it? And if I wanted to play 3 notes (C, D, E), how is it? Music (or as close as the QL gets) is programmed using BEEP commands. It can be difficult to relate BEEP command parameters to...

The '(C) Jo' in the banner makes me think it really is a Jochen Hassler code because on some of his other software such as GAL Assembler I have seen it appear exactly like that. This will absolutely not be a Qubbesoft Trump Card ROM as although Qubbesoft did do a Trump Card with level 2 drivers, it ...

So I found the EpsonFX850 commands list for my printer (see links here below). But the typeface section only is marked "PCL". So this is the proof that there is no way to change typeface via Superbasic, am I right? https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3974809/Typeface-PCL.gif https://dl.dr...
