What is the version number of disk 1? There was some problem with versions before v4.0. I don't know exactly what the problem was, But I have a note form DP dated December 1994, implying extraction problems. It says the new disk 1 has a yellow label, and briefly announces itself as Version 4.0 on bo...

Thanks for that. That will probably account for my 'not implemented' errors.

I was just worried that one of my machine code routines had left a landmine somewhere in the system, that PRINT was stepping on in Minerva 1.97

Does anyone know if at some point Minerva changed the handling of printing strings to a channel, by converting a IO_SSTRG into a sequence of IO_SBYTE's I have a problem with a program that prints to a channel, who's device driver does not support IO_SBYTE, but does support IO_SSTRG. The program work...

I used that email address the other day, And I've had no response.

Hi, thanks for that - would the lack of mods (this has none) cause the issues I'm seeing? Cheers! I've never encountered a QL with version PM. But I thi...

What I had done, is write a small boot loader program to LBYTES and CALL some SuperBASIC extensions. Then LOAD a test program for the SuperBASIC extensions, which I was going to trace through with QMON/JMON. Only I mistakenly used ALCHP instead of RESPR. And when I tried the extensions, Crash...

Thanks for that. It's me just getting old.

I don't know if I am just going a bit potty, but... I have noticed a problem in SMSQ/E with ALCHP, where LOAD will corrupt the allocated space. Start SMSQ/E (I'm using QPC2 as an example) type x=ALCHP(12000), then PRINT HEX$(x,32) and make a note of the address. In my case it returned $00140404 type...

Best thing is if we just fix the uQlx source! We don't want "special" versions just for one emulator when its the easiest one to get fixed! I won't have time probably in the coming couple of weeks but anyone is free to post patch to github! If you do a fix for the above problem. You might...
