Re: Installing SMSQ/E on BBQL+gold card
What exactly does "system crashes" mean? SMSQ/E does a cold boot that takes a while and might look like a "crash" to the uninitiated.

Re: Odd behavour of the DIR command?
If OPEN_DIR, inkey$... works and shows the headers correctly, that is very probably not an operating system, but rather a TK2 problem. DIR is intercepted by TK2 to extend for wildcards, while your "manual" method to read the directory is not. Other than wildcard handling (and, maybe, IO.FS...

Re: C68 Window
Note if you actually want to see the window, you need to give the system some time to draw it - Your program seems to end prematurely and the window is closed again so fast (because the job is done), that you have no chance to see something. Send the program into a long loop after opening the window...

Re: C68 Window
The initial Window in a C68 program is called the console - It is normally opened by the startup code and defined by setting the _condetails structure. If you want to open additional windows beyond the console, there are various ways to do that: ( chanid_t ut_con (WINDOWDEF_t *wdef) is a low-level c...

Re: Overview of QL SD / CF Solutions
Thanks - I have expanded on the pros and cons a bit further above - more information is of course welcome - how about the Q68, Q40 and Q60 ? QXL cards (obviously, it's in the name, after all) support QXL.WIN containers. Starting from 3.32, SMSQ/E for the Qx0 supports QXL.WIN containers on FAT32 as ...

Re: Overview of QL SD / CF Solutions
You might want to add that all image file solutions (vDrive, HxE) are size-limited to floppy (or mdv) sizes, although you can have more than one image on the media. QL-SD and QubIDE derivatives support a hard-disk-like usage, while vDrive and HxE are a bit less convenient - You will often need to sw...

Re: QDOS gcc made easy (docker stylee)
Is it possible to have the object file QL executable header? Not easily - There's no way to store a QL file header anywhere on a foreign file system (other than, maybe, using the Q-Emulator method, which makes the file un-usable on native boxes). Your method to re-create the header on an Emulator w...

Re: Cross-Chase
On most platforms I know (Windows is none of them), Docker can be told to use (mount) a local directory by a configuration dialog. This is where your source could should be, I guess.

Re: Request for advice: programming a TASK (not a JOB) in C68...
Norm, I was actually thinking of providing some articles on some QL subjects to your always excellent fish-wrap :shock: , but never found the time to actually come around and write up something useful. I promise I'll keep on thinking about it ;) In earnest: Yes, I'd be glad to write something (maybe...
