The Sinclair QL Forum

Do youknow how many users use QL/E? Well, it's me and maybe Simon. ;) Seriously, I just don't know. But I know the download figures. Take the previous version 3.20. This had a "successful download" count of 298 in 365 days. 1 month has passed since the release of version 3.21. I had a qui...

A minor update to Knoware.no. I like to see updates! Updates, Users and Explorers are what make the QL thing to continue! :D Anyone using my Q2S_bin "compatibility toolkit" for Qdos should update as there was a bug in ERT that could cause a program to stop without explanation. QL/E makes ...

Thank you!

Just tried the 64-bit version shortly. TDESK starts without crashing now.

You made my day! Seriously, after all that bullshit at work today, this is true.

Switching off the PCs now, need to relax a bit.

Cheers,
Urs

More decades old bugs!

I tell you a secret: Bugs are all over the world in each and every program.

Would bad param be -15 by any chance? Yep. Thanks for jumping in Tobias. uQLx codebase returns that when there are no serial ports, on Windows port you can never have any serial ports. On linux you probably need to configure them. I think that's the point. I tried to configure sqlux.ini for serial ...

What is TDESK? You got me! :shock: ;) Well, I should update the QL wiki https://qlwiki.qlforum.co.uk/doku.php?id=qlwiki:qtop&s[]=qtop one time. TDESK is the executable binary file of the program QTop-Desk which forms the core of the QTop package. It's TURBO compiled SuperBASIC. QTop if one o 6 ...

Speaking of QL/E, today I've experienced that its QTop-Desk program (file TDESK) fails to start. This is weird because TDESK is known to run on all QL compatible systems. First impression is that the SuperBASIC command BAUD does not work as expected. It just gives "bad parameter". Graeme, ...

I have done what might be considered a more user-friendly sQLux User Guide with pictures. I have also created a QLX.win file to go with sQLux to get someone started. It comes with zip, Xchange, the Pointer Environment, and some other utilities. It will get someone new to the QL up and running. Both...

Awesome job Martin and Marcel!

I gave it a try and integrated it into the next version of the QL/E distribution which is due to release very soon. We're in another year now. :D Meanwhile this next version of QL/E (v3.21, codename "Circle of Life", 2021 edition) is out! Details about it, Download & More as usual on ...
