The Sinclair QL Forum

I have been doing some work on renaming variables and proc/fn names in the new decompiled QLIB_BAS source. The idea is to make it all readable and understandable. I'm not altering the code in any way, just doing the renaming. So far I have renamed about 80 out of 400. This is all a guessing game, tr...

How about QL software such as CPORT and CFIX? Both have been compiled with Turbo but published without their sources. We have tried to make contact with the authors/copyright owners but without success. Interest has been shown in obtaining the sources on this forum. These products are now not availa...

I have just done this ..
Now I will try to do a byte by byte comparison ...

WM_rptr is called with "129" as snd parameter, this makes it move under PE. The problem is to make it move further than 512x256. The Move Sprite is set absolutely in the main window "var0348", I had (formerly) thought, the move window has its own window to place it. I think we h...

BTW: The window MOVE takes place in "procfun34401", if someone wants to investigate, "var0388" is true, if PE is available. Inside procfun34401: IF PE then WM_Sptr and WM_Rptr are both called, else an inkey$ loop is entered where the cursor can be moved around. When ENTER is pre...

Martin has sent me his decompilation sources of QLiberator. Thank you, Martin. I have received the same files as he sent Ralf. I have used the original QLIB_obj to compile and get a massive length of about 66,554 bytes, which is far greater than the 46,190 bytes of Martin's compile. I've only tried ...

QLiberator self compiling under QPC also takes 2 seconds. Just by the way ;) That's a huge speedup, from 2 hours to just 2 seconds, when using Q-emuLator. I imagine Q-emuLator must have been running at QL Speed. The version number comes from the compiler itself. The first _obj I made, was with the ...

Hmm, I have found keywords in DM511's nametable, which are not linked in, e.g. UPPER$, LOWER$, SORT, TREE, WDDIR. Is there a missing extension file in the _obj? There is an Extensions_Cde that is LRESPR'd in the BOOT file. That's easy to miss out if your using QPC2, as the PE is automatically inclu...

I have attached a Zip file (zipped under QDOS to keep the headers) which contains two copies of this recompiled DiskMate 5. The A version was compiled with the original QLIB, and the B version was compiled with my recompiled QLIB I note that both versions are claiming they were compiled with the or...
