The end of the command was missing, not good. A few other typose and speling erors have been fixed. ;) Version 1.1 is online now. As ever...

It's all fine, thanks. Derek needed to upgrade QPC to version 5.x to execute files created with the -WQqhdr option.Chain-Q wrote:If any of the above doesn't work how I described, that's a bug, please report and it will be fixed.

Re: Pascal Crosscompiler Advice
I noticed I was using QPC2 4.05, so I upgrade to 5.00 and the hello.exe file executes from QPC2 DOS drive. Excellent. I am 99% certaing that QPC 5 was when this style of header was able to be executed. I've been using XTcc trailers until recently, when Marcel gave me a telling off -- after all the ...

Re: QL / PASCAL
I want to keep this style for the system unit, and the raw headers. For the user-visible qdos unit in qlunits, we can add overloaded functions, which would be more Pascal-ish. function mt_inf(system_vars: ppbyte; ver_ascii: plongint): Tjobid; would be equivalent with this: function mt_inf(out syste...

Re: QL / PASCAL
Sorry Norman, but I'm pretty sure this patch is wrong, but having said this, I'm not saying the original version in there is entirely correct.
