Re: QL replica

Perhaps not, but the "temporary hack" to limit the memory available to slaving has virtually neutralised any symptoms. No it didn't. Still only FS.LOAD works at full speed on native hardware, even under SMSQ/E which contains this hack. We lack the manpower to get rid of a 40 year old perf...

I noticed only a few possible error: In the concepts guide, p 45. Theres a SuperBASIC program listed: .. 110 COLOUR_QL. .. I presume this command does not...
