Re: QL Show 13th / 14th April 2013

Skype worked OK with a couple of small glitches - I don't have a webcam, so it was only audio only from me - may be a good idea to cut down on bandwidth requirements over mobile internet anyway! As for having one computer for each person attending virtually - you need to look at Group Call – can lin...

Re: QL Show 13th / 14th April 2013

I have used Skype today to speak with some people at the show - will be joining the AGM later via Skype to have my vote and say. I spoke to them again about the dedicated section of the QL Forum for Quanta members to make it easier to access the library and probably the magazine online for members -...

Microdeal Flight Simulator Manuals

I have uploaded the Microdeal Flight Simulator Keyboard Reference Guide to my website: http://www.rwapsoftware.co.uk/DOC/Microdeal_Flight_Simulator_Keyboard_Ref.gif However, I only have a very poor quality one where a lot of the information is either too faded or worn off - does anyone have a better...

Re: Microdrive cartridge preservation

You can (carefully) replace the felt pads on the microdrive cartridges - you can remove the old felt pad and replace it with a new one - either take one from a normal cassette and cut it in half (and then use superglue), or look at: http://www.8-track-shack.com/cassette-tape-replacement-felt-pressur...

Re: Quanta subscription

A Quanta section on the forum would be the easiest way forward - if some areas could be read only for non-Quanta members, and some areas only accessible for Quanta members, then the library disks could be uploaded to the second area, along with other things which Quanta has rights to for its member...

Re: Which QL - year of release - is fine to upgrade

I have a stock of JM or JS ROM QLs here and can guarantee to sort out a working one if anyone needs one :D

Boxed ones are extra (of course!)

Re: My struggles with compilers...

From memory, the problem with TURBO is that the restore could not just be calculated - it had to be

Code: Select all

RESTORE 2000 
or

Code: Select all

RESTORE 2000 + offset %
As then Turbo could update the initial pointer - I could be wrong however.

Re: TROLL - Role Playing Adventure Game Editor and Interpret

Steve Poole has been working on translating this, but has had problems - the main issues being that the SuperBASIC did not run under SMSQ/e and the program appears unfinished to tell you the truth. Whilst the translation of the program is almost done - maybe you could have a look at translating the ...
