Re: C1 Pascal
Dilwyn, C1 Pascal wants a 100% identical memory layout as that of an original QL - Otherwise, it won't run. It is also not compatible with the pointer interface - It asks for input in the menu window but doesn't display a cursor, so you can't <CTRL>-C into it. I once tried to patch it but decided it...

Re: Q68 New users and general usage thread
If it's not too large, most probably yes.

Re: Q68 New users and general usage thread
Dave, I don't think he can, and even if he could: An SBASIC Program is "running" in so many places, that even if the BASIC code itself would reside in a specific (fast) RAM area, the interpreter code runs wherever SMSQ/E has been loaded initially (and that is definitely not in fast RAM), t...

Re: Q68 New users and general usage thread
Yep. The higher the resolution and color depth, the slower the machine. That's good enough for me

Re: Q68 New users and general usage thread
By the way, as long as the colour depth remains, and all windows are within the future display range before switching mode, I could always change DISP_MODE on the fly without any odd behaviour. This may not be an official feauture, but it seems to work. Note that "all the windows" might i...

Re: COPYRIGHT
Norman,
no need for an Escrow for code in the QL area:
Put it onto a microdrive and sell it at EBay. Simone will preserve it

Re: 68060 based QL system?
There is PS/2 to USB converters, which only on some USB keyboard that support PS/2 data/clock signals ( Not sure about). Calling them USB converters is maybe a bit much - They will only work with specific dual-mode keyboards that send PS/2 over a USB plug. And those get rarer and rarer (or sellers ...

Re: Q68 New users and general usage thread
Per,
that's right. None of the QL operating systems (or windowing systems, for that matter) is designed to be able to change display resolutions on the fly.
It might work if you close all windows first, but there's no guarantee.

Re: COPYRIGHT
In a nutshell: In most countries of the world, it is simply not possible to register a patent on a pure algorithm. Most legislations consider algorithms ideas that cannot be patented (just like mathematic formulas, imagine Phytagoras of Samos would have patented his famous theorem, Bubble Sort, Bres...

And that is, along with SuperHermes and QIMI (which are both hard to come by these days) probably the most standard way to connect a mouse.afx wrote: I use SerMouse.
