The Sinclair QL Forum

I have tested Qmovie with SMSQmulator (2.20). I had the movie file stored in an NFA directory (Unix directory) and booted from the qmovie.win file. It worked. The video and sound was little choppy and the voices seemed just a touch high pitched. I tested with the Al Bundy video.

StarshipUK, For someone coming to our forum and asking for help, you sure are whining a lot. Others did provide some pointers to how these games might be made to work on a disk drive system, but apparently that was not good enough: " If you are trying to promote the system (rather than just mak...

Marcel, Jan, Tobias, Thanks for the input. Tobias, I see where you are going by using fopen, but I want to use routines like: - sd_bordr - to set the border color - sd_setpa - set paper color - sd_setin - set ink color I don't think I can do those with the non-QDOS C68 library calls. I'll try the fu...

I'm having an issue with C68 and not to sure what the solution is. To open a window here is the code: chanid_t chan1; chan1 = io_open("con_300x200a50x50",-1); I then want to print to that window: fprintf(chan1,"This is the main window\n"); When I compile this, I get an error that...

> Sometimes text (e. g. the region, or search result) is hilighted, but I don't know, how to remove the hilight? MicroEmacs for the QL has HILITE, which does Syntax highlighting. If his is the mode you are in, you can get rid of the mode by the delete-mode ( ^X^M ) command. For highlighting text, if...

The editors that I use are: 1. ED from Metacomco (got it with the Pascal compiler) 2. QED from Jan B. Just like ED but is officially free and can take longer file names. 3. MicroEmacs I used MicroEmacs a lot back in the day when I was programming more. I was able to get Thierry to add some features ...

Derek,

I tried to e-mail Jim but the address I had failed. Can you PM me his address? I want to query him on releasing the source code. When Jim was in the Bay Area we used to meet fairly often.

In all the chatter about production numbers, I did not see any mention of the QL's built by Samsung. Were these included in the discussion? I know that A Plus (A+) bought the remainder of the US QL's when Sinclair was sold to Amstrad, but the articles did not mention how many.

Bob,

SQRview did the trick. Took me a few min to figure out how it works, but it was able to convert the BMP image to PIC.

I then used FPIC_LOAD to load the image to the screen. Now that I have it working with a test image, I can press forward.

Thanks,

Tim Swenson

Thanks Silvester, I'll have to give this a try. My first step was getting an JPEG image over to the QL. I created an image that was 200 pixels wide (and almost 200 high). I save it as .jpg and as .bmp. I first tried BMP from Dilwyns site. That seems to lock up when I tried to do the convert. I got t...
