Break vector?
Is there any equivalent of a break vector that I can hijack in QDOS? I can find no such animal in Pennell or Dickens. I'm after a way for an assembler program to jump to a restart location if a specific key is pressed. I'd rather not do a key row scan as that'd add a substantial overhead. The neares...

Re: White screen but no problem with Minerva?
There is also a web-based utility to decode the meaning of the minerva RAM report.

Re: Quanta CD
My experience is similar. I've submitted the "Join Quanta" form twice, the first months ago, the second recently having heard nothing. As the silence persisted I used the contact page to ask (IIRC) the membership secretary for advice. The result was an email from the chairman saying that d...

Re: Mods to QL Assembly Language Programming book
OK. Here is the list of things I noted reading through the rest of the book. Most are just minor typos but there were a few oddities along with suggested fixes for them (some where I had to guess what you meant, so beware). A very pleasant read (the book, not these errata). Do you have any recommend...

Re: SETW compatibility
Thanks, very useful. I always read the manual before using anything like QPC2 in earnest, so I was essentially just giving a first impression of the opening screen in my throw-away remark. For some reason I was expecting the sort of display given by selecting 720x400 on the LHS i.e. the emulator win...

Re: SETW compatibility
Just make the window bigger like on any other Windows application? What am I missing? Marcel Thanks for the unexpected reply (given that that bit of my post was an OT off-the-cuff comment). The main window I had no problem with - the one that was baffling me at the time (and I suppose still is, giv...

Re: SETW compatibility
Well at least the good behaviour with SMSQ/E seems to be consistent then (using a massive sample size of 2). I must have a look at QPC2 again sometime. I only had a cursory glance a while back and couldn't work out how to make the emulation window bigger. I've enough documentation to read at the mom...

SETW compatibility
I've been looking at Norm's example SETW session in Chapter 24 of his QL Today Assembler series. I am finding that SETW works fine under Q-emulator with SMSQ/E loaded (Goldcard_bin). However, when using Q-emulator with JS+Tk2+PE the program crashes after all the window information has been input. Th...
