The Sinclair QL Forum

I have now had a look on Marcel's page for EASYPTR. It seems "easyext_res" is included in his package, also renamed to "easyext_cde". But I couldn't find a documentation for it. So I have translated the most important parts (especially all SuperBASIC extensions) from the original...

Yes uE is an absolute superb Editor, I have used it a lot at Windows 3.1 times on Windows (at this time there was unfotunately no QL version available). But I have forgotten the most commands. For normal tasks (I have no QD licence) I now use SEDIT, cause it seems to be the only free editor (besides...

Nice to know, as for small tasks it is better suited than the (Micro?)Emacs monster.

But it seems CTRL-F4 isn't documented, so my false assumption.

Cheers Peter

One drawback of QDOS, QPC2, ... is, that there is no freeware editor. QD-Demo delivered with QPC2 can only read files, but "Saving files" is disabled. I have tried some other editors, Ralfs SEDIT works as does Master_Spy. But they all have one drawback on QPC2 with a high resolution: They ...

Yeah! That are good news :-) Superb piece of software. But are you sure, you haven't done the C-Lib? I have the original manual, and there is a chapter EASYPTR3 which is thought for C programmers. It has the same layout as the other stuff (except it is in English, the rest like SuperBASIC extensions...

I',m a legal owner of EASYPTR (full version inclusive C-Library). One of the most interesting things in this software package is the SuperBASIC extension EASYEXT_RES. I want to ask if at least this usefull peace of code may be published freely, because it has the extremly usefull XJ and RXJ commands...

Hello mk97,

I was too late ;-) But thank you.

Really a great forum!

Is there no EDIT command in SBASIC which allows (as on an original QL) to edit a line in channel #0 of the SuperBASIC Interpreter. If I enter EDIT or EDIT linenumber, the TK2-Screen-Editor is started. How can I edit a line in channel #0, so that I can make a command from a S(uper)BASIC line? I have ...

Archives of charConvert were corrected on my website. There was a typo in winToQdos.ini which unfortunately destroyed SuperBASIC programs. Every ':' was replaced with an õ. It is not necessary to download the archives, you can correct the typo yourself in the file "winToQdos.ini". Replace ...

Wow! I wonder that my message has so much answers. But my intention was:

Is there really no S(uper)BASIC command (or similar), with which you can set the medium name. Like:

SET_MED_NAME "DEV-name" , "MED-Name"
