The Sinclair QL Forum

Hi again Andrew Coming back briefly to your font printing observations documented in your new manual... 1. QPC2 char_inc issue 1 I realise now that my own adjustment to QLC didn't address the problem you mention in the new manual - although it did allow FAT founts to be rendered more effectively - j...

Hi Andrew I've been playing with QLC v1.0 a little more and have some suggestions for you, that I'll share via PM. In particular: 1. QPC2 char_inc issue 1 - I have adjusted my copy of v1.0 to address this and added a routine to (90% effectively) detect whether the _fnt file is actually a standard (5...

Hi Andrew

Might be prudent to spin-off a separate thread for your difficulties with the QL-SD fitted in the Hardware section...

Hi Andrew

Works quite nicely - great job! Nice to see the Fn key fount ala Minerva

A couple of quirks - I'll report back after some more play...

Hi again Andrew!

As far as i understood MK's Minerva patch, it addressed MDV access (via LBYTES) after the (S)GC ROM patches the timing-routines in Minerva.

I didn't think it was relevant for WIN (SDC) access.

Something else a-foot, I feel...

Hi Andrew Which version of Minerva are you running? I regularly load screen-image files (32k) directly in to the Display memory area without problem. I have also been able to load screen-images using one of your earlier versions of QLCommander - I'll play around a bit more and let you know what I fi...

Hi Andrew I haven't used Tiny Toolkit, but TYPE_IN is available in the Turbo TK, along with the required COMMAND_LINE to effectively switch the Keyboard queue to Job-0/Chan-0. When you say "...function that loads a number of bytes into a buffer...", can you elaborate where that plays in fe...

Hi folks Whilst I don't use Blogtrottr (nor other RSS feeders), I myself had noticed a change late last year with access to the Forum on my legacy Palm Pre3 smartphone - it had always rendered nicely before, but now can't access this site (plus a few others.) At the time, I put it down to a possibly...

Hi Tuna

Don't be discouraged - our Mr Stewart is ever the pragmatist!

Your initiative is a good one and I plan to tinker with your program once I find some time - extracting QL software within Windows/Unix remains a bug-bear, when you need to retain those pesky QDOS headers...

Hi Jack! When specifying the _local_ QL, you refer it it via its local devices - not by its Nx_ node-name, thus, to copy from N2 to N1: On NET1, type: COPY "N2_win1_xxx" TO "win1_yyy" The file will be saved as win1_yyy on NET1. FSERVE would be needed only on NET2, for this exampl...
