The manual for QLOAD/QREF is there now too.

The Config block (Level 1) in Qlib_obj is the same assembler source as in S_Edit, as I have sent it to them during v3.32. They only omit changing the version number during updating Qlib, which is shown during config.

If someone could be so kind and translate Thierry's french text files for the modified Runtimes?

Translated the text and made the file available on the QLib page.

Ah, thank you!

Great news! Thanks Rich for being persistent. This is the most important QL software freeware declaration since QPAC 1 and 2 in February 2014.

Has anyone downloaded and got working yet? I have unzipped all to a win_ drive in qlay2. Boot files all load without errors, typing 'liberate_etc' with no trailing comma tells me the work file has been created. Typing with a trailing comma gives a bad parameter error. I know that normally copying qlib_obj other than from your master microdrive would result in the copy not working. Could this be the reason or am I missing something more obvious? Qliberate was my compiler of choice back in 1983 so very keen to try using it again.

Did you set QLIB_USE to the path where your qlib binaries are installed? As long as you use QLIB_USE properly, QLiberator should run regardless of where it was copied from.

What was the exact LIBERATE line you typed? In case you happen to name a work file exactly the same as one of your PROCedures, you will also get a "Bad Parameter" error.

Thanks Tobias, had forgotten to set qlib_use. As I had only set up a single win drive I assumed it would not need to be told. Great to see it working.

Greg

Downloaded and used both Qliberator and QREF. Thank you to everyone who helped make this available.
