Yes, I would like to see that, would be ideal for me.

I have written a Qlib external called DCOPY, the 'D' standing for DATE. So, I can DCOPY "File_A" TO "File_B", and it will copy the file including the DATE. This only works on SMSQ/E. One thing I have to remember is to always use the quote marks, else it won't work. Please, can y...

This one is untitiled "QLIB_RUN modified 2" (qlibrunmod2.zip from unknown author) with a very short description saying "To get External compiled procedures working on SMSQ/E systems". Indeed it really works on SMSQ/E but also on all systems that I could tested (SGC/Minerva/SMSQ,...

This renaming is rather like painting by numbers, except you don't know what the colours are. It's all a guessing game. It's actually like writing your very own program - that's the kind of thinking involved. I've had to look up some details from the Turbo Parser to fathom out some of the indexes us...

I am continuing to rename the vars in the new decompiled QLiberator source. Here is a snippet ... 1090 REPeat tokens 1100 IF NEXTLINE THEN 1110 EXIT tokens : REMark NEXTLINE means End Of Program has occurred 1120 END IF The way that NEXTLINE is being used, it appears to return End_of_Program. Being ...

once.zip I have run the new dm511_bas through my once program, which can identify any possible spelling mistakes. This produced the following output ... Candidates for possible spelling mistakes ..

I did manage to get the executable to work, after all. I had to use HOT_STOP before LRESPR-ing the extensions, and then use HOT_GO again. So, I now have this working in QPC2. Ah, so in layman's terms, if I want to exe the exe using SMSQ/E under QXLII, where exactly do I enter HOT_STOP? Before the e...

Tried running the basic program on QLAY2 (I also use QLA2K when I want sound but it kind of messes too much with audio) and got some weird errors: 150 GLOBAL a% Is that a QLiberator thing? 240 Ax$='<<QCFX>>01 This line started with that but was over three lines and had unprintable characters. It al...

I haven't been able to get this one to work, either.

P.S. I believe it was written in SuperBASIC and then compiled as an exe with SuperCharge. Would be cool to see the actual SuperBASIC program and run it. Compiling probably sped it up but with the faster machines and emulators it would probably run pretty decently form source. Also, how do old execu...
