Dilwyn, working with FMAKE_DIR or MAKE_DIR is a bit of a dangerous path. It will work in theory, but you will run into hard to fix issues in case the driver has to move files into that newly made directory: win1_LETTER_TXT exists, win1_LETTER_DOC exists you try to find out whether the directory win...

I suppose you could try something like this, but only on a level 2 filing system. 100 drive$ = 'win1_':direc$ = 'xyz' 110 ch = FOP_DIR(drive$&direc$) 120 IF FNAME$(#ch) == direc$ THEN 130 PRINT direc$;' exists' 140 ELSE 150 PRINT direc$;' does not exist' 160 END IF 170 CLOSE or alternatively, us...

Ha if only it were that easy! register names became random letters, random symbols, or nothing at all. Basically, anything that wasn't an ordinary English word you might find in a word list was totally screwed up. I thing M$ Document Scanning must try (and fail extremely miserably) to apply artifica...

Well done Dilwyn! I have just reformatted from 247 up to page 300 so just 13 more pages to go. I have attempted to keep to the formatting you use e.g. A5 paper etc so hopefully the docs should just be able to be merged into one without the need for major work. Will post the zip file this pm. Kevin ...

Finished my half of the Easyptr 3 part 3 manual (pages 157 to 246 inclusive). The Zip file attached includes both Word docx and PDF versions. Norman and Marcel can now do what they wish with this (well, as long as it's legal, decent and honest...) Edit: Note that pages 237-8 appear to be duplicates....

Got somewhat bogged down on the second set of pages due to the complex tabular layout adjustments needed on most pages of this part. Still working on it - only 20 pages (227-246) to go!

I do notice from your screenshot that you are using one of the finest QL Toolkits around, DJToolkit. I wrote that one! So what does DJ stand for? I had up to now assumed it was Dilwyn's initials :-D Because Dilwyn used to sell this in the past (probably because no one wants to deal with a Scotsman ...

What do I go from here? I have completely forgotten how to use the QL !!! If it's just the small issue of a QL manual, you can read it online here: http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/docs/ebooks/olqlug/index.htm Or if you prefer to download to read offline (PDFs, ebooks...), http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/docs/ebook...

Have finished reformatting pages 157 to 198, this covers: index Easysource Pointer Interface library routines This leaves pages 199 to 246 to do - The Window Manager Library Routines section. There is an awful lot of table style layout in this, might not be able to finish that part today. easyptr3pt...
