Im a bit short of time at the mo, hence my breathless comments..
Turns out it wasnt the title. To recreate the issue try:
Start the program. Press E to edit, then immediately ESC. Thereafter all input goes to the outline window.

Great! :) Ive always enjoyed these kind of simulations, although Ive never found the wherewithal to explore them as much as Id like.. I wonder, is entropy/stasis the inevitable outcome (with these rules)? So far it seems so, within < 2000 generations. A few minor bugs: The title doesnt display corre...

Nice, tofro! Although I havent been able to test it yet. There appears to be a problem with the zip file: There are two Life_exe files (of different sizes), so unzip tries to overwrite the first one. No problem to rename, but is this what you wanted? The second issue is that LRESPRing prl on SMSQ/E ...

Steve,
I dont know if youve past this level yet, but theres an example of using pipes in SMSQ/E at Knoware: SB Slave. Its not exactly what you want, but it may be of some use.. My best tip is to start simple and play around until youre ready to tackle your problem.

PS: During testing I compiled a version of the test program above with Qlib. It compiled and seem to run, although incorrectly. It may have quietly crashed my system. However, I dont know which version it freaked out on, and cant be bothered to try to find out now. So just be warned! Does 3.36 and ...

<> 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...
