<> Surely it should not be the task of Qlib to make SMSQ/E SBasic compatible for QDOS platforms. It's up to the programmer to make clear if it's QDOS or SMSQ/E only. SuQcess comes in two flavours "1.20" for QDOS and "2.07" for SMSQ/E. Other programs may use QDOS sections to avoi...

Well, theres DIV and MOD for starters: SMSQ/E works on long integers, Qdos on word. But Qlib uses its own internal word-sized routines. Making those long shouldnt hurt.

<> 1. The INSTR_CASE keyword as featured in SMSQ/E is not working in 3.36, no error is reported but its setting is ignored and the behaviour of INSTR is not changed. I wouldnt be surprised if Qlib used its own routines for this. If so, it may be hard to fix until someone gets very familiar with the...

Impressive! Still working on the issue with different output of V3.36 and V3.37. Thats to say, Im producing the problem and Martin has been trying to solve it! My biggest wish for a Qlib update is for a $30 char job name length! I would think that's possible. But you may have to have a special runt...

As I said, I dont know if its any good. But here it is.

In the DP collection theres a fount called ZX_1. I dont know if thats any good.

The Amiga OS is too 1950's and Unixy for my taste. Erm, no interactive terminals in the 1950s, merely paper tape, punched cards and (in one case) telephone dials for input. :) Interactive sessions didn't arrive until the mid 60s. I wrote that merely to make it sound palaeontological compared to Qdo...

Imagine SMSQ/E fully incarnated into the Amiga hardware! Mmm. Should be possible, It works on the Atari (native WIN, native screen). HI Per, What sort of Amiga? I dont know anything about Amigas other than that they had, or could access, all the bells and whistles the QL was lacking: Speed, memory ...

The QDOS / SMS Reference Manual V4.05 is out! As Wolfgang is not on this forum, I thought you might like to know. Changes since the previous version: v. 4.5 Typos, added keys/information about standard hard disk format, Sbasic name table additions for integer REPeat and FOR loop indexes, warning for...
