XChange on WIN1_
Posted: Fri Sep 07, 2018 4:58 pm
On QEmulator i can eun xchange from win1_, but on QL + GoldCard + QL-SD - Minerva ROM it would not run from win1_
More details: I created a directory called XCHANGE and copied all file on it using QxlWinReader.
When I run xchange BOOT it returns At line 270,1 bad parameter.
Line 270 is EXEC XCHANGE
The xchange boot file:
Also tried to with
and it also returns bad parameter
On QEmulator the same XChange 3.90L works (lines 140 to 210 changed to REMark)
How can I make xchange to run from win1_ ? And what is the difference between Ql and QEmulator ?

The xchange boot file:
Code: Select all
100 REMark IMPROVED XCHANGE BOOT 5/93, SNG
110 WINDOW 512,200,0,0 : PAPER 0 : CLS : INK 7 : CSIZE 2,1
120 PRINT ,"P.D. XCHANGE 3.90L, START-UP"
130 CSIZE 1,0
140 PRINT \,"Public Domain RAM-DISC loading ..."
150 REMark N.B. XCHANGE NEEDS TO FIND RAM1_ AVAILABLE TO WORK!
160 a=RESPR(5*512):LBYTES win1_xchange_ramdisc_cde,a:CALL a
170 INK 4

240 PRINT \,"Press F10 or SHIFT F5 to re-draw the Psion windows"
250 INK 7

262 REMark Xchange needs DATA_USE and PROG_USE pointing to it, ideally
265 DATA_USE win1_xchange_ : PROG_USE win1_xchange_
270 EXEC XCHANGE
280 REMark THE EXEC COMMAND RESERVES THE DEFAULT DATA-SPACE (310K) -
290 REMark WITH TOOOLKIT 2: EX XCHANGE;"200" RESERVES 200K DATA SPACE
300 REMark LIKEWISE, TURBO TOOLKIT USERS CAN EXECUTE XCHANGE;"200" ETC.
310 REMark QL PRINTER_DAT FILES WILL WORK IN PLACE OF XCHANGE_DAT ONES
Code: Select all
270 EX XCHANGE;"200"
