Re: the new ALPHA_BLEND command

Thanks Norman, it's been in the SMSQ/E manual since v1.04 too.

For the record, if you discover any further new SBASIC keywords to be added, if I've updated the SMSQ/E manual before it's added to the online reference guide, feel free to copy, or to point out any errors/omissions I may have made!

Re: Status of QMON

visionQL_circuitdiagram.jpg LOL :o Dilwyn - you're confusing me...

Re: Status of QMON

Also: if anyone has the original Sinclair QL Monitor manual (it was on eBay a couple of months back, but I was too late :x ) I would like to convert that as well for posterity (I'm aspiring to make it look as perfect to original as Dilwyns Quill manual conversion). I *think* I still have mine in th...

DJ's Sinclair QL page on Facebook

Re: SGC successor brainstorming

However, since the Tetroid SGC's became available I think that video output is the single thing that needs to be acted upon. At the moment, we are reliant on SCART TV connections and SCART/HDMI type converters. Yes Dilwyn, the lack of a reliable, standardized QL video output actually made me think ...

Text entry etc seems to work normally and this seems to only be a distraction. After a while, usually after typin...
