Thank you! Looking forward to take it for a spin

Good morning Tobias! You beat me to it - again

Hi everybody, The multitasking program, (in the last posting), runs OK under qpc2, but fails under Qemulator. First, Qemulator refuses to EX several SMSQ/E programs_bas. It will EXEC Qlib compiled programs though. EXing SBASICs should work on any system running SMSQ/E. Are you sure you loaded SMSQ/...

Im a bit short of time at the mo, hence my breathless comments..
Turns out it wasnt the title. To recreate the issue try:
Start the program. Press E to edit, then immediately ESC. Thereafter all input goes to the outline window.

Great! :) Ive always enjoyed these kind of simulations, although Ive never found the wherewithal to explore them as much as Id like.. I wonder, is entropy/stasis the inevitable outcome (with these rules)? So far it seems so, within < 2000 generations. A few minor bugs: The title doesnt display corre...

Nice, tofro! Although I havent been able to test it yet. There appears to be a problem with the zip file: There are two Life_exe files (of different sizes), so unzip tries to overwrite the first one. No problem to rename, but is this what you wanted? The second issue is that LRESPRing prl on SMSQ/E ...

Steve,
I dont know if youve past this level yet, but theres an example of using pipes in SMSQ/E at Knoware: SB Slave. Its not exactly what you want, but it may be of some use.. My best tip is to start simple and play around until youre ready to tackle your problem.

PS: During testing I compiled a version of the test program above with Qlib. It compiled and seem to run, although incorrectly. It may have quietly crashed my system. However, I dont know which version it freaked out on, and cant be bothered to try to find out now. So just be warned! Does 3.36 and ...

<> Surely it should not be the task of Qlib to make SMSQ/E SBasic compatible for QDOS platforms. It's up to the programmer to make clear if it's QDOS or SMSQ/E only. SuQcess comes in two flavours "1.20" for QDOS and "2.07" for SMSQ/E. Other programs may use QDOS sections to avoi...
