Re: Quill Explodes with ptr_gen loaded?

Did you try loading quill with the "P" attribute from Hotkey? That should actually work properly: 220 ERT HOT_CHP ('q', 'flp1_quill', 'p', 32) 230 HOT_GO 330 ERT HOT_PICK ('1', 'Quill') This should load quill resident and pressing <ALT>1 should then pull quill into the foreground without a...

Re: Anouncement for the 40th Anniversary of the Sinclair QL in Dormagen (Germany)

Hello ! I would be very interested attending this meeting of QL users near Köln, because I will be in Strasburg ( not very far ! ). Do I have to book directly for a room and parking with the hotel, and may I do it early ? meaning NOW to be sure to have a room, but also, is it absolutely sure that t...

Re: The case dreaded upzip barrier

The signal extension should normally not be mandatory - Programs should run fine without.

Re: Lunar lander and UDG generally

Looks alright, but the CHAR_USE should (logically, I don't think it matters) come after the font is poked.

11*9 bytes, + 2 bytes in the initial data statement, so the frontsize is 808 maybe
yep.

Re: Lunar lander and UDG generally

On the QL, "everything is floating". That means that POKEing to fixed addresses is potentially dangerous. Your POKE in line 810 pokes to memory in the free memory area of the QL . This might or might not be what you assume (you seem to assume that it's a font address in a channel definitio...

Cool. Which network driver do you use?
Martin's. But as NTP is using UDP, Wolfgang's might possibly work as well - Haven't tried, though.

Higher traps on Q68

On QPC and my QLs, I'm using TRAP #15 instructions with beacon strings to trap into QMON. This works nicely: When QMON sees a TRAP 15, it will break the program at the current PC (I'm using macros to create a TRAP #15 and strings to show me where I am). This, unfortunately, does not work on my Q68 (...
