I remember now that the video drivers I was thinking about were for Atari TOS to use the QVME. The "QL" ones were built in to SMSQ/E and could be tweaked at boot time.

Did you load a driver? I dont remember details anymore, but there are a number of different drivers for different monitors and resolutions IIRC. Dont remember if that was for the original ST QL "emulator" or the QVME.

Hi Martin, Just a wee hint at what we're up against here. The piece below is taken from QL Toady (slightly edited), December 2002 (V7-I4-P21): One of our great QL luminaries was once out walking in the woods, when he espied a small brass lamp lying in the undergrowth. He picks it up and rubs the dir...

I have already tried it, I test it in q-emulator. WIN_USE FLP returns me BAD NAME It looks like it's a bad command. EDIT: I'm testing in the emulator, no matter if I use dir WIN1_ or dir FLP1_ always see DIR WIN1_ Which emulator are you using? Q-Emulator, for example, appears to use its own drivers...

Nice one, Cristian
To run it under QPC2 do a QPC_QLSCREMU 4 first. (To turn off the racket when youve had enough type Beep 1,1 at the console

EDIT: http://www.sinclairql.net/qlt/QLToday_V15-I2.pdf - volume 15, issue 2, Dec 2010-Jan 2011, starts page 7. Hi Norm! A rip-roaringly good read, that. Thanks for the reminder! Between what TT and LT write, apart from their philosophical objections, its seems to me that C++ is not really suitable ...

Anyway, don't let Tony Tebby hear you mention classes or objects as I seem to remember him slagging them off big time in an article in QL Today. Wasnt that Linus Torvalds? I know he was pretty abusive about c++. Thought the best thing about it was that it'd keep crappy programmers away from C! ;) (...

Looks like your version of unzip may need the commands the other way round, ie not

but

The definition is implied , IMHO. FNAME$ returns the name of the file. In Qdos & co, unfortunately, the path happens to be part of the file name: ch = fop_in(<dev><dir><filename>): print fname$(#ch) This prints the name of the file, ie <dir><filename> A directory is special, but it is also just ...

Sadly, on the DOS device, the OS doesnt do the work. The OS never does the work, it's always the responsibility of the driver (and a pretty non-obvious one to boot). I was just being lazy. But now youre being pedantic ;) But as far as I can see DOS does fine? make_dir 'dos1_temp_xxx' save dos1_temp...
