Re: Themes

Hi Per, I have had a look at the Themes v5 package. I could not get the QLiberated executable SiThVi.obj to run. It crashed at line 620. Executing the SBasic source from within QD also crashed with the error Line 620 4 Invalid name. Looking at the line the statement ERT -12 is the problem. SBASIC wi...

Re: Themes

Hi Per,

Thanks for the pointer to that document, so if I now understand it correctly only the hex numbers in the saved theme files that have the first bit set are the 15 bit colours that are used for paper ink etc, while the other numbers are borders, stipples etc.

Thanks.

Themes

Hi It may be a question that has been asked before, but what I am wondering is which mode is used for the 16 bit colours in themes. Have looked through Dilwyn's site and QToday without finding an answer. Are they mode 32 or if not what are they? Why? I have been looking at updating EddIcon. Thanks f...

Re: Q68 Ethernet

Back in 2006 Jonathon Dent was working on a TCP/IP internet connection package. I had a version, as did others to test called soQL3_1.zip. At that time the only way to connect a hardware QL to the internet was through the serial port. Does anyone know what happened to that?

Re: SuperBASIC omission (bug?) in SMSQ/E?

Alternatively there is the ClipScrapBoard package, CSB218.zip on Dilwyn's utilities download page. This contains PasteIt_obj that does the same with ED or other programs with a cursor. Same caveat - to paste in to ED an initial line number mus be given in ED. Just press enter after starting ED. Past...

Re: Status of QMON

Hi Oliver Great, if you can share the PERFECTION file then I'll use that as a baseline for the current version - saves me quite some typing and is probably already the manual Marcel is looking for. Anyway, I'd still make a Word version. Attached is a .zip with the QMON manual from DP's QL collection...

Re: Status of QMON

Hello, I have the QMON manual that came with DP's collection as a PERFECTION document. I can convert this to word or PDF. I just don't have the time at the moment but can do so this evening.

Re: USB Floppy Disk Device (Drive) with Support for Windows 10 and QPC2?

Hi Rich, That error is peculiar - is QPC2 or q-emulator open and trying to access the disk when you do the DOS format command? Not sure what other process would have control of the disk, unless you have something like a disk imager / or possibly your antivirus software is getting in the way and tryi...
