The Sinclair QL Forum

Hi all, Just noticed this thread. I have had a Mist for a couple of weeks and got the QL core running. It feels like a very realistic reconstruction of a real QL - you can practically hear the microdrives whirring. I didn't realise that QLE was available in the QL-SD format. I will definitely be try...

Best wishes to Derek.

Still looking forward to the C68...

I tried getting this to work in Steem, with no success

One day I will retrieve my ST from the attic and see if it still works.

Hi all, After nearly 20 years, here is version 1.00 of QBase. The (hopefully) full list of changes since the 1998 version is in the README file in the zip. Since v0.99, the only new feature is that the page size and scroll size of the tabular view are now CONFIGurable. Other than that, I have fixed ...

There are two parameters, that at present are hard-coded within the application: page size and scroll size. Page size is the number of rec...

Thanks Giorgio, I will implement the variable column width; I just need to think about the best way to do it. In my previous posting I forgot to mention another new feature: The tabular view no longer attempts to load the whole file at once. It can now be paged up and down using the left and right a...

Hi all, Here is the new version of QBase, my database editor for the DBas database library. Changes: - Loads in 512x256 resolution, and is resizable. - May be called with a command-line parameter, e.g. ex flp1_Qbase_obj;'flp1_data_dbs' - Lots of refactoring. The eagle-eyed among you may notice that ...

That looks great. I am not usually an early adopter but I really want one of these...

One question; do I understand correctly that it runs older OS versions in addition to SMSQ/E?

Rgds,

I can think of someone.... ;) If you could look past its pretty obvious defects, the QL was amazing for its time. Superbasic is still pretty nice to program with actually; definitely better than most 80s basic interpreters, and, in its latest incarnations, almost ridiculously fast. It really was the...

Hello, I am new to the forum, so I thought I'd introduce myself. Since this is more or less a cross post with the mailing list, it may seem a bit familiar to some people I originally bought a Sinclair QL some time in the mid 1980s. It was my main computer for a while, but I eventually replaced it wi...
