Re: TURBO'd app that hangs the QL on termination...

Hello again! An update to this old issue I was facing, and never quite got to the bottom-of... I have just deployed Wolfgang's SDC/Win driver to my Minerva-based QL and, whilst it still remains unclear the cause of the original hanging of my TURBO'd app, the issue has curiously gone away - with no ...

Re: How to load QCon_Rext driver

I wish to use the serial port on my QConnect modem but to do so I believe I have to load the QCon_Rext device driver into my boot file, the problem is I am unsure how to do this. According to the txt file supplied with the driver you should put the following command into your boot file: "LRESP...

Re: Passing channels to jobs

Hi again, I believe you need to add another comma in your instruction ... QX win2_job2,,#1 Doing that should link job1's #1 to job2's #1. Both jobs will then write to the same window. About LRESPR, the idea is to LRESPR win2_job2_obj produced by QLiberator. That would create new KEYWWORDS from any e...

Re: Passing channels to jobs

Hi, In the manual, on page 61, it does say that the channels must be already open. I have tried the example given there, in the manual, and it does seem to work. So, the suggestion is to compile with Winds ON And remember to LRESPR the file, before testing. I hope you can get this to work. Good luck...

Re: Get drive free space

Is there a function/a way to read the free space available on a drive? Except Turbo Toolkit's DEVICE_SPACE function? I do not want to load all Turbo Toolkit for the use of a single function. Hi, Using DEVICE_SPACE, a channel has to be already open for creation for it to return the correct result. S...

Re: Slider3 game

Hi Steve, Would be interesting to write an SBASIC program to solve it. Once a sequence of moves is found, they could be displayed with a one-second interval between each. How could finding such a sequence of moves be found? Perhaps a heuristic could be made from how far each letter is from its finis...

Re: Snake in Maze

Hi, I just ran the game on a bare 128 Ko QL with no Hard disk... So Change lines 290, 1540 & 1690 from win1_ to ram1_ ! Regards, Steve. ______________ Hi, I had a JM QL once, a long time ago. From memory, there was no ram driver. Perhaps Nicos should try changing lines 290, 1540 & 1690 from...

Re: Doodle - the firefly

Hi again Steve, The problem was with #0 - I was using a 3 line #0 window, so it was AT#0,3,1 causing the out of range. I often use this setup as it gives me a few more lines on the other bigger windows. I notice in your firefly - at lines 550,560: x and y are assigned to, but are not used again - mi...

Re: Doodle - the firefly

What programs do the 14 other viewers use on their QL systems ? Or what type of programs would be welcome ? Regards, Steve. Hi all, Over the past six months, I have been developing software that takes a loaded QL S*BASIC program and adds in code to allow the production of a tracking report. The out...
