Hi, Looks like my assumption that there was I2C code in the Minerva ROM was incorrect. Looking at the file I2C_IO_REXT_dis, the base of the Minerva MKII I2C hardware is at $BFDC, which located in the ROM space, is there accomodation in the Minerva ROM to include the I2C Hardware? Which may mean, usi...

Hi, I am sure there is a something that can be supplied to the C68 CC programme to switch off the automatic extension translation. But in the interim, my solution was to unzip the C source code with infoUNZIP and junk the stored directories, with the -j option, so that only the files are stored with...

Hi, The Minerva I2C_IO_BIN file adds a function I2C_IO, which uses the Minerva ROM routines to access the I2C interface. While the i2C Hardware sold by Tony Firshman maybe be compatible with the Q68 I2C interface, the Minerva I2C ROM routines detailed in the ROM source code may need sole conversion ...

Hi

Thanks for the advice, my solution wad to rename all the files with .c or .c to _c or _h

It is strange that C68 header files can be defined as _h or .h in the C programme file. But a header file in the C source code file has to be _h

Maybe using XTC68 is a better option.

Hi, I seem to of forgotten how to compile a C programme with a .c extension. I tried to compile the "alter.c" module from SQLite with, which gave this error: C68_compile.png I like to use CVIEW to compile C modules, which up to now has had a "_c " extension and work OK. My simple...

Hi Qbits,

I run the game on SMSQmulator and works great.

But I tried to compile it with Qliberator, the compiler gave 2 errors sbout an LRUN statement and a END_FOR without variable.

But really nice programme, excellent documentation.

Tony Tebby never offerred me anything except a rediculous article in QL Today, about sheep impling I was a software pirate...

Tis a pity since I would of bought all this.

Hi, The link to Wikipedia, is a article from QL Today, in a series that Tony Tebby outlined the history of QDOS / SMS development. It just goes to show, in the article linked, that the core of SMS2 is a cut down version of the SuperBASIC interpreter, that uses Qliberator to compile source BASIC code...

Hi, As I stated earlier,no problems with Linux/Wine with QPC2 v5.x or SMSQmulator. SO it must be a Windows problems or feature? I thought that an exception could be made in the Windows setup and give the correct permissions to overcome this, when I used use Windows and repair the Windows based PCs, ...

I know I keep on with this this... but could DBAS not do the same job as SQLite. If some Procedures and Functions to give the same names as the commands in SQLite, are written in S*BASIC, compiled as Externals in Qliberator, or added to a CLI, is this not the same, OK the data format maybe different.
