Re: QTalk - does anyone have it/seen it?
Digging through my collection of floppies, I found one labeled "Qtalk". Not sure where I got it. The handwriting on the disk is not mine. I created a floppy image file using dd and confirmed that I can read it with SMSQmulator. I zipped up the image file and it is attached here. Tim Swenson

Re: Unzip problem
David, When sQLux was released a while back, I created a example qlx.win file. It can be found here: http://swensont.epizy.com/sqlux.win (It's 2 MB). It has a number of directories and it has a copy of unzip. You can use this file as a boot device (win1_) or mounted as a secondary device (win2_). I ...

Re: How to transfer the text in a quill doc file to a modern PC
I still actively use Quill for writing. The simplest way to get from Quill to a word processor like OpenOffice or Word is to use "QL-2-PC Transfer" from Geoff Wicks (Just Words Software). Here is the link: http://www.gwicks.net/freeware/ql2pc.zip I use it to convert from Quill _doc file to...

Re: Rounding in QSpread
I've used the method of converting between Gregorian Date and Julian Date from Jean Meeus. It is working fine with Abacus. I'm doing the same method with SuperBasic, but using "PRINT USING" to get the output to be what I need. I've tested with Abacus, and it is 14 digits. I was able to get...

Re: Rounding in QSpread
I was not trying to balance my checkbook, but converting Gregorian data to Julian Day. The current Julian Day is 2459847.5, which will round up.

Rounding in QSpread
I've been tinkering with Qspread and I found that despite having rounding turned off, it will still round up larger numbers. If I type in a 6 digit number with a decimal (123456.5) it will display it as 123456.5. If I type in a 7 digit number with a decimal (1234567.5) it will display it as 1234568....

Othello Helper
I wrote a program that can be used to step through Othello games, seeing the moves live. I tried reading a number of Othello tutorials, but the example boards/games were hard to see timewise. This program will take a list of Othello moves and display them one after the other (pausing in between). It...

Norman,
I see you found the issues that I found when getting SSB to "compile" itself. Glad to see the updates and that you have modified it to work as you want.

Re: I'm looking for a S*BASIC app, possibly by Tim Swenson!
Norman, Why not release both _SSB and _BAS. I would call _SSB the source code and _BAS the "runtime" :-) The purpose of SSB was to make code that is easy to use (and add a few per-processor nice-to-haves). Even those that don't have SSB, the _SSB code would be easier to read and understand...
