Unknown to me as a long time ATari user, I don't recall in the olden days folks running this Alt OS on their Atari systems. Thumbing through a downloaded .PDF of QLToday I see all sorts of mentioned and dealer ads for Atari. Wow! So, anyone here have any experience running QODS or SMS2 or SMSQ/e on...

Hi So I should ask Dilwyn why his mode 32 sprites got the alpha channel RLE2 compressed when RLE1 would compress the sprite further. There isn't any problem with smsq/e handling sprites with the pattern compressed RLE2 or RLE4 and the alpha channel RLE1? I intend to make some. Cheers The Q-Dock spr...

Welcome, Liam.

In case it's of interest, there's an article about QL networking on my website, at http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/docs/articles/network.zip

Klaus Frank in Denmark has sent me a disk with further scans of QL World magazines. All of the 1992 and 1993 issues, plus the final five issues from 1994, when the magazine ceased publication. Klaus has also scanned the QL New User Guide, a 138 page document which originally appeared as a supplement...

Formerly published by Eidersoft, these programs are intended for use with the ICE (Icon Controlled Environment) system. Artice v1.1 is for the original ICE system, while MiceAr...

Not 100% sure, but I think this would work with QDOS+pointer environment too, not just SMSQ/E. Vanilla QDOS (i.e. without PE) it may well be a problem when no cursor. I'll test it on QL without PE . I should have mentioned that it won't be a problem when started with an EXEC_W or EW command, only w...

Wallpaper Program Recent versionsof SMSQ/E from about version 3.00 feature high colour and high resolution screens along with the new Window Manager. This makes them very suitable for displaying colourful and attractive background images behind your program windows. These images are called wallpape...

I've tested this out with QPC2, and your right - it does work. Control-C works as intended even without an enabled cursor - I am surprised. I have been mistaken - sorry! Not 100% sure, but I think this would work with QDOS+pointer environment too, not just SMSQ/E. Vanilla QDOS (i.e. without PE) it ...
