I noticed the following: OPEN_DIR#4,flp2_QLtest_bas will return: - Bad Parameter - if QLtest_bas exists on flp2_ - no error - if QLtest_bas does not exist on flp2_ I just tested this on Qemulator 3.2 and could not reproduce it - in both cases OPEN_DIR gave no error. I used the JS and Minerva 1.97 R...

EXTRAS should have a parameter as filter string . And print the location.
Actually quite easy to implement...

I was intrigued by this and have replicated the issue... If you use the downloadeded zip from Dilwyn's site (1.02), and then enter: EXEC flp1_QED;'flp2_QLTest_bas' The program creates a new file called "flp2_flp2_QLTest_bas" rather than opening the existing flp2_QLTest_bas. The issue is t...

I downloaded from github the new version When I try to load win3_edt_config307_bas QED tries to create the file mdv2_win3_edt_config307_bas :? (Qed is in win1_ ) I've not been able to reproduce the problem on Qemulator. What kind of medium was win3_ mapped to (Windows directory or MDV/WIN file)? Wa...

Regarding the QED problem - the drives are mapped correctly. And I get the same error regardless of the drive type (Mdv_, flp_, win_). Tonight I will document the issue and make some screen captures, so you can test if you can reproduce the issue on your system. I've tested it on Qemulator and was ...

As for the window problem in v2; it looks like the binary posted on GitHub has a default window configured which is too large for plain QDOS - I'll post a corrected version asap. Fixed default window size now - it was too big for 512x256! Still need to fix QEDCONFIG_BAS though - or maybe I should m...

Hi Andrew, I am writing some code now - and I would love a better editor. ED works - but is pretty basic and has no copy / paste, cannot split or concatenate lines etc. I read about QED - and downloaded 2 versions - 1.02 from Dillwin's site and 2.0 from github. I cannot load a file in either of them...

Great work! What's interesting is that this ROM presents itself as QDOS v1.02, like the AH ROM, but the contents are different. Still it's probably closer to AH than FB, as there is about 1.6K more code compared to the (incomplete) FB ROM. On the QL2K emulator the boot file crashed somewhere when lo...

Would be nice to have the complete FB rom contents. And then getting angry at the failing microdrives and the editor which doesn't allow you to edit a 'bad line'
