The Sinclair QL Forum

I personally chose SuperCharge over Turbo because of its capabilities to run on an unexpanded BBQL -- I know that's a weird criteria but I love exploring the QL's original capabilities not its enhanced ones since I can just run an emulator and get max performance and memory, etc (so where's the fun...

FSEL is a very good one. <> It would be a lot more simple (for me!), if I can just get a $xxx with the the supplied name back (e.g a file name) as an address to retry it from there (or have I musunderstand it?). Most of the times, one wants to get a valid filename, I think (even I). Im not quite su...

SNG writes (on his website): It took another year to develop the academic project into a commercial product - QL Supercharge, £60 boxed with a 100 page manual (written in Scripsit on my Video Genie, printed with a Juki 6100 daisywheel printer). The compiler ran overnight for weeks, parsing itself in...

Some recent additions, updates, tweaks, and bug fixes at Knoware.no <> FSEL is a very good one. It was always very annoying, that such programs could only be set in the primary windows of the main program (which wasn't during the first versions of PE and Wman, I still do not know, why that was chan...

Some years ago SNG sent me some interesting papers on SuperCharge/Turbo. One is his BSc Hons Final Year Project Report which explains the philosophy and design of SuperCharge (SuperCharge was the project!) Another describes some of the internal workings, like the intermediate file format. They may b...

Nothing to shout "hurrah" for. Most of you can just continue to ignore it, as usual

Hi Per, Really excellent work. No, really sloppy - compared to mk79's, at least.. I must admit to not using most or all the command in QLIB_BIN, but the command commands should be documented correctly. These are not Qlib user toolkits. They are part of the compiler itself. Most commands are pretty ...

Yesterday I did a little more work on one of Qlib's system toolkits, Qlib1_bin. Not much, but thats three hours Ill never get back.. So, I dissembled it and made some half-hearted attempt to document parameter usage (see QLib1_BIN.txt). Assembling the dissembly with Qmac produces an identical binary...

Nice work, EmmBee :) I just did a rudimentary test with 17 small toolkits. It appeared to work! I found one minor bug: If you start QLib 3.43 and then quit immediately without adding a file name it barfs with an error 11, Variable undefined. V3.42 doesnt do this. A pity you did not see fit to includ...

Which should be quite easy, if you use a control file, like RPM or Jochen Merz' EPROM Manager.

Exactly right!
