Re: Accessing QUANTA software library

There is a q-emulator version of QL Unzip set ready to work within the emulator - have a look at: http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/arch/index.html Look for QemuLator Unzip :D Sadly (well, not really) I am a Mac user, and I think this only works on the windows version of Qemulator. I will see what I can do t...

Re: Accessing QUANTA software library

Thank you Rich! I had read something about issues with unzipping, and now it makes sense. I will attach the zip to Qemulator tomorrow, and see how I get on!

Re: Accessing QUANTA software library

Oh yes, after this I did try to put REM statements to disable lines 1095, 1100 and 1105, and if I RUN this, all I get is At line 1120 bad parameter (not even the bit of title text I had previously!)

QUANTA holds its library secrets very tightly... :?:

Re: Accessing QUANTA software library

UPDATE! Not much progress, but having gone through umpteen permutations of what to do, I have made some progress by: Starting an entirely new emulator; LOADing the BOOT file from LG01/Quanta Library Guide changing line 1080 to mdv1_ changing line 1100 to LBYTES device$ & 'data.bin', addr What I ...

Accessing QUANTA software library

This is a continuation of a thread started in the QUANTA section of the forum, but this seemed to be a better place for the thread to develop. For the original thread, see http://www.qlforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=670 Okay, the distilled issue is this: I have downloaded the full QUANTA libra...

Re: Getting the Most From Quanta & Access Library

Ummm, oookay... What got published there has an extra word that changes the meaning entirely. It sounds mean and not at all what I intended. I'm sorry. :) No offence taken... I've been rushing around so much the past few months I have unlearned everything I picked up when I first got my QL, so I am...

Re: Library Guide.... AARGH!

Please, someone tell me that I am being an idiot, and don't deserve to have access to a QL, but put me out of my misery and tell me what I am doing wrong! You are an idiot. You don't deserve access to a QL. I am not going to tell you what you're doing wrong. It's not because I don't know, though. W...

Library Guide.... AARGH!

Okay, this is a bit embarrassing, as it is only four months since I put in the original post, and this thread had lots of useful information, which I read, and then promptly forgot as life took over... I have finally ( :shock: ) had chance to sit down for a proper hour and try to start exploring the...

Re: QL is 30 Event During 2014

Speaking as only a recent QL user, and having followed this thread since last year, I have to admit that I am not sure what a QL is 30 event would be about, or what its purpose would be, beyond a group of people getting together and saying 'hurrah'. As such, I can't really build much personal enthus...
