The Sinclair QL Forum

Thanls Michael,
Looks like I am getting into deep water...I'll have to get hold of QLib now.

As for the boot file, Is it not possible to load the file into Quill to tweak and save it? I seem to remember that someone used Text 87 to do just that sort of thing.

Hi embee, The problem came from me using two computers. The old one configures QPC to win1_, the new one to dos5_ ... The BOOT program forces data_use and prog_use to flp1_ The BOOT has no line numbers, so I could not tweak it. I tried dos_use flp but that did not override the settings. Back on the ...

To Derek Stewart,

I downloaded libcport and c68 as you suggested.
Using dos_use flp
LRUn dos5_libcport.example1 works fine.
LRESPR dos5_libcport_runtime.exts gives not found, yet the file is shown with dir_dos5_libcport !

Mystery...

Steve.

Oops, I forgot I had lightning on microdrives. I LRESPRed LNG_MATH_EXT, and wrote a code timing routine full of trigonometry functions. Result, with _ lngprec set to 0 or 1, 2 or 4, no difference in speed on QPC with a 15 second run. So no way of accelerating here I'm afraid.... Pity _lngprec doesn'...

Does anyone still use the LIGHTNING MATHS EXTENSIONS? These could be useful in this current TSP project. I have them on a dud microdrive. ARE they still available anywhere?
Steve.

Thanks Tobias, I will download these as soon as I get enough spare time to get into them. For the moment, SBasic is the language i will be using to develop the TSP. Then, when all is ready I will start transcoding. Thanks again everybody. My return to the QLForum has indeed been very rewarding. Steve.

Thanks everyone. Now I am beginning to see where I am going.
Where can I buy CPort, LibCport & c68 please?
Steve.

Hi Rich, Yes I would like to aquire Superbasic C-Port and give it a try. It should make a reasonable stepping-stone for transcoding to C++. If anyone has used it , I would like to hear their opinion on it. This is what the SBasic 'Travelling Salesman Program' has to compete with : Type this into you...

Hi All,
If you get your password wrong, you can use another, but not using the same email address. This locked me out for a couple of years. Now I have a second email account I am back on line.
Perhaps others have also had this problem?
Steve.

After years of doing without, I managed to get my program TURBO'd and it does indeed run several times faster.
As for SuperBasic C-Port, where can you get this from?
Steve.
