Re: C68 Source Compiling
I know that standard include files can be referenced with .h, and the preprocessor converts the '.' to a '_'. Here is what the C68 manual says: Filenames given to the #include directive may contain a '.' as the extension separator. During processing, any '.' will be translated to an underscore, and ...

Re: Coding SuperBasic
Ok, I swear that I've not paid Dilwyn or Norman or anyone else to mention SSB. :-) SSB was first created in 1991. It just took some time to get some attention. I like to view SSB as a pre-processor, as the inspiration was the C preprocessor (include statements, conditional compilation, etc). For an ...

Perl 4 was ported years ago by Jonathan Hudson. I think he said porting Perl 5 would be much more difficult.

Re: Archive pdf
Derek,
Check my PDF's and see if you like them. They are created from .DOC files (which I can send you). Might have you a bit in scanning and OCRing.

Re: Archive auto Primary Keys?
In Bill Cables series "Archive Made Easy", in chapter 19, he discusses joins between tables and creating key fields. He describes the user defining the values in the key field; "but is is best if the user can define their own keys and even in QLerk the user has final say". I thin...

Re: Night time "Dark Mode"
How about just turning down the brightness on the monitor?
The QL Vision monitor had a nice knob for that.

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
