The Sinclair QL Forum

When trying EJC (Erling Jacobsen C) you should read ejc_txt! Albeit there seems to be a bug. If I use: ex 'cc' , #1 , 'ram1_err_txt' ; 'cc -?' the help file is written to 'RAM1_err_txt' But if I use: ex 'cc' , #1 , 'ram1_err_txt' ; 'cc hello': REMark You MUST NOT write the "_c" suffix (EJC...

It sounds odd to me to say BBQL w/Gold Card as you might as well say QL w/Gold Card (i.e. no longer just the good old BBQL). I do not agree. Even a QL with Super GoldCard is IMHO a BBQL. It fully fits into the BBQL and just adds a better processor, Disk-IF, Centronics Port and buffered clock. But i...

Thanks for the link.

BTW: I succeeded in compiling my first "hello world" with EJC, albeit I'm far away to understand this very interesting compiler fully :-(

CONFIRMED: In QL mode S_Edit writes black on black (i. e. you see nothing). Just tested it with a new started QPC2, started S_Edit and typed something: Cursor moves, but nothing to see. I assume black (INK) on black (PAPER).

Cause I want to try to install EJC, I have started QPCII with QL colors and tried to read the README files of EJC. They are loaded, but they seem all to be black on black :-( I load S_Edit with ert hot_???? (i. e. as my default editor for viewing files), cause it's reentrant and compatible with high...

This evening I have soldered a connector for a VGA-monitor. I have until now tested just a 14" CRT (tube) VGA-monitor (I think multifrequency). But it does not show anything (black). Sometimes, when I power up the QL, the screen flickers for less than a half second. Is this normal (I thought th...

When examining your new book, I have found following: Norman Dunbar, "QL Today’s QL Assembly Language Programming Series", Springer-Verlag GmbH, Heidelberg, ISBN 978-1-4842-5790-6, Ok, I'm confused. You mention that the title is my QL Today QL Assembly language, but the ISBN number is my ...

When examining your new book, I have found following: Norman Dunbar, "QL Today’s QL Assembly Language Programming Series", Springer-Verlag GmbH, Heidelberg, ISBN 978-1-4842-5790-6, chapter 1.2.1, page 4: "Data held in registers and in memory is held in High Order format. This simply m...

I have a CRT multi frequency monitor and a LCD monitor (14", 1280x1024), both with just (D-SUB) VGA connector and want (at least one of them) connect it to a BBQL(1) User "dex" told me, that this is only possible with a monitor that supports 15 kHz (thank you). As I cannot find the sp...

OK, I was wrong! Just tested my German QL with my old tube TV with an antenna cable (unfortunately a very long one) and now it shows all 8 colors (but the picture is horrible, maybe because of the long cable). Is it possible to connect a BBQL (1) with a multi frequency tube monitor and VGA D-SUB co...
