Re: Q-Liberator 3.46

Andrew, Under the assumption that SuperBASIC moved at some point during the running of the boot program, for reasons unknown, I thought pre-empting it before obtaining a6 might do the trick. And it appears to have worked. Basically: .. IF version$ = 'JSL1' THEN REMark Minerva DIM t$(9000): DIM t$(0)...

Re: Q-Liberator 3.46

Hi, I do not need to test for Toolkit 2, as I know what is installed on the machine. Well, the package wasnt only designed for you.. Surely, for compatibility, the presence of Toolkit 2 can be ignored. TK2 is needed to run the compiler these days. It wasnt my choice, although I agree with it. As fa...

Re: Launchpad v2.12 Update

<> Thank you Per. I don't know why I didn't do something like that in the first place. Probably because I wanted to display the extra info that QJ or JOBS supply (and probably I was too lazy).
