Re: m68k.info talk with me
Thanks for those documents. They are very Tony Tebby -- pretty much everything I've ever read of his has been a "rant" aboutsomething he disagrees with. I would only say, as an average C programmer, that readable and understandable code can be written in C, and just as efficient at run tim...

Re: Q68 QoE Ethernet Driver
so should I use a D0 value outside the usual IP driver range, like $4F For a Trap #3, $4F is IOF_XINF, get extended information. Or am I missing the obvious again? As far as I know, the full list of trap 3 calls are all listed at http://qdosmsq.dunbar-it.co.uk/doku.php?id=qdosmsq:traps:trap_3:start...

Re: Converting to Quill doc format
There's nothing that I'm aware of. Sorry.
QStripper, one of mine, can convert Quill and PC Quill to quite a few formats, but not the other way round.
Cheers,
Norm.

Re: Video: Sinclair QL Upgrades (PSU and vDrive mostly)
To do something more you'd probably need something like an Arduino, which will probably not fit in the drive. Ok, slightly off topic, but...there are options! For example, if the code is written in the Arduino IDE using the features of the Arduino "Language" (aka library) then you are pot...

Re: QL / PASCAL
Another Pascal distraction form what I should be doing! The "Randomize" function now works. It originally just set the "randseed" to 0 and issued a warning message that randomisation was not initialised. I've fixed it to call MT_RCLCK to get the date/time in seconds, and to use t...

Re: QL / PASCAL
Fixed error 103! The existing code in "sysfile.inc" in the function "do_open()" has this comment: { rewrite (create a new file) } { FIX ME: this will just create a new file, actual overwriting seems to be a more complex endeavor... } if (flags and $1000)<>0 then openMode:=Q_OPEN_...

Re: QL / PASCAL
Morning Marcel, Aye laddie! ;) I knew about the defaults being introduced in TK2 originally, but I was reporting my observations found during testing. I probably typed/phrased it badly, as I usually do. The 103 error came at the rewrite() call in this code: { Program to demonstrate the Erase functio...

Re: NameCheck
Hi Tim, Thanks for the fix. The two sections should be all one script. Easy enough to be fixed by who ever downloads it. No problem. In the example with version$, the script will find "version$" Excellent. The script assumes that all variables must have an assignment, so I looked for "...
