These, most 2 important commands should ALWAYS exist in Your bootfile:
1:
PE_BGON : REMark Enables that windows in background do not stop when they are doing output to screen (e.g. a Window). [First seen on Minerva with additional Software, e.g. Pie or Pex]
2:
WM_MOVEMODE 2 : REMark Many (most?) programs can then be moved while the output is visible. [First seen on SMSQ/E – I have recognized it first on Q68 – thanks Derek]

p.s.: Of course much thanks to Marcel! Without him QDOS wouldn't be, what it is today.
p.p.s.: One main problem is the maximum path length limit, which unfortunately is deeply built into the OS :‑|
There is an (virtual?) Internet Filing System without the (horrible) length limitation of QDOS pathnames from Hans-Peter Recktenwald (hpr). I never have tested it (hard to read). Has anyone tested it yet?

Hi Peter,
I have had a brief look at QVFS, which looked a good idea.
I was hoping to write some software that would use QVFS, to allow longer filenames then allowed in QDOS/SMSQ/E.
UQLX and sQLux uses QVFS as well.

Some time ago I did this https://www.qlforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=27710#p27710.
I never took it any further. As I remember, ideally it wanted a couple of alterations to SMSQ/E.

Hi,
I was trying to write an epub reader.
The epub file is a zip compressed HTML files, but the QL filename limits gave problems, I thought maybe QVFS or LFN would help solve the problem.
But this is on hold till I can get the Q68 finished...
