Re: QPC hangs after <CTRL><ALT><SHIFT><TAB>

Just checked:
With the new version, QPC happily reacts to the 4-fingers with an EPROM_LOADed ROM (and the ROM works fine, too)

Thanks for fixing this!

Re: How to make the Prospero Compilers work on a modern system

Tim,
with the above procedure, I had no issues with ProPascal whatsoever, even with QPC set to 128M of memory ;)

I have promised to do a short writeup on the subject, so let's try: Download THE DISTRIBUTION from here http://www.sinclairql.net/downloads/THE_DISTRIBUTION.ZIP Find and extract ProPas_117_zip from the downloaded file and extract it to a new directory on your hard disk, e.g. win1_prospero Point a de...

Re: The Future of the QL Wiki

I see it a bit like you, VP - enthusiasm needs to be honored with fun. As soon as it's no longer fun, enthusiasm tends to fade.

And: The risk of one individual vanishing from the scene (for whatever reason) can be mitigated by having resilience - mirrors, back-ups, the like.

It runs perfectly well after a bit of tweaking and builds nice, fast and small programs. I might do a writeup how to make it run once I come around to it.

Re: QPC hangs after <CTRL><ALT><SHIFT><TAB>

OK. Found it. Firt upgraded one PC to the newest QPC from Marcel's site - Same problem. Then started to comment out stuff from the BOOT file - I was lucky the offender was one of the first instructions in there... And after having found the problem, I am not sure if I really should not blame QPC for...

Rich, What you've written shows a lot of responsibility and discernment, and we all hope that any of what you have pointed out is not going to happen anytime soon. We all must accept that our descendants won't necessarily share our enthusiasm in the things we value. Enthusiasm is the exact keyword -...

Re: QPC hangs after <CTRL><ALT><SHIFT><TAB>

Marcel, happens with 4.05 as well. Note - I'm not blaming QPC, but rather ask what the reasons could be. And, yes, it doesn't freeze when I start with no or an empty BOOT file. Apparently, something is in there that collides with the Reset routines. As my BOOT is pretty large, I'm rather looking for...
