While working on the decompiled Diskmate 5, I have a problem with Q_ERR_ON "fex" giving an error message. This error also occurs in the compiled program. Is this a known bug with QLiberator/SMSQE? Also are there any other known bugs in QLiberator, as I now have a mostly working, decompiled...

I have a Supercharged loading programm for the original QL.Pawn. That was made by an italian guy long time ago. Would be good to see, what he has made to load this game. I can send you this one. I don't know the copyright status of QL Pawn, If you want to post it here. But I will send you a persona...

I have now got a decompile of QLIB_OBJ that I am looking through for problems, and tidying up ready for loading. There are some embedded SuperBASIC extensions, which I have extracted, but not looked at yet. I see, perhaps you found keywords like FINDSYMBOL, GENSYMBOL, INITgen, GENop, RA6, FINDnext,...

Oha, they should have known better with ON...GOTO. I hope, they haven't put machine code inside their code (what you perhaps have imagined)... I've done a bit of rewriting of my ON..GO TO/SUB handling, and I also had to add handling of READ into an array element. I have now got a decompile of QLIB_...

Di-Ren used to do a 'Network prover' box with an LED to show the network status. Could this be incorporated onto the main board? The LED could poke out the back somewhere, or have a connector for a flying lead. Or maybe replace one of the existing power/microdrive LED's with a Bi-colour one, so it c...

I had a quick look at decompiling QLiberator itself yesterday. There appears to be two compiled programs, QLib_obj and QLib_Patch_obj. The Patch file ran through the decompiler with a couple of warnings, But the QLib file threw up several warnings, and hit an unrecognised code. It also looks like it...

Some the procedure calls have picked up the wrong names for the Procedure definitions e.g. a call to ProcFun10891 should be ProcFun10890 I think I have sorted this problem out now. Four Procedure names need changing. Lines 6910 & 7130, Change procfun10890 to procfun10891. Lines 13800 & 1389...

Hi Martin, my code looks interesting :), thank you. I have a few GOTOs in my code but not so much as in the recompiled code and just within a few PROCs. Seems I had better compiled with VARs ON to get a proper nametable for recompiling. Seems, you had to add a BP.INIT to my(!) inbuilt extensions, a...

Perhaps you try to recompile sedit_63 Screen Eiditor from Dilwyns site, as I have lost the the source from a damaged HD. That would be useful, The ASM code included is here, if you need it, I have been working on this. The decompiled program has quite a few GO TO's in it. Did the original have GO T...

First of all, great project! In how far did you analyze the runtime yet? I started putting it into my IDA Pro some months ago, but ran out of time. Cheers, Marcel Only a little. Most things I can work out by compiling test programs, then examining the results. I have found the 'interpreter loop' th...
