<>Does anyone know how to get rid of the scroll arrows in Wman?<> <> Maybe there is some flag in the MAWSETUP in memory that can be manipulated like I do for the colours but then also the offsets mentioned above should be adjusted. Thanks, Bob. I keep forgetting about that "Important_txt"...

(* I dont know about Q68, it only emulates a 68000, but sports a 32 bit bus..) The Q68 does not have an emulated CPU, has the 68000 CPU written in FPGA code, coukd be considered to be a real CPU and runs the operating system natively.<> Perhaps thats a matter for the philosophers to ponder. Since t...

PS: In QPtr versions it says: V1.18 (int) Pan/scroll arrows made optional, bars tidied up.
So it seems possible, but doesnt say how - unless Im missing something..

<>Does anyone know how to get rid of the scroll arrows in Wman?<> In EP it is possible to set up bars only with MAWBAR, but not, apparently when a menu is in effect. There is this cryptic line in the Qptr manual (p184) that states: If there is not a minimum size of ww.scarr for scroll arrows or ww....

And for those still holding their breath waiting for a reply to the original question, Im sure Bob wont mind be posting his fix: sp_appbd% = 534: rem Application window border sp_scrbar% = 545: rem Pan/scroll bar sp_scrbarsec% = 546: rem Pan/scroll bar section sp_scrbararr% = 547: rem Pan/scroll bar...

I'll revive this ancient thread for my question: Does anyone know how to get rid of the scroll arrows in Wman? Ie I only want to see the scroll bar (when needed), not those mickymouse arrows. Is there a way of turning them off? Im using EasyPtr but am not averse to poking the Working Definition if n...

It shouldnt be hard to devise a small test rig to see whether such a method eats memory by fragmenting it. (Just note that SBASIC, SuperBASIC, and compilers may all behave differently.) I did a lot of tests over questions like this back in the day. Although I cant now remember the exact results, I t...

Ok, a few minor changes and for Per, a QL executable! On emulators, you need sysvars.exe , and on the QL itself, or emulators which don't understand the new header arrangement, you need sysvars.xtcc_exe instead. The window is the standard one opened by the initialisation of the job, 512 by 256 at 0...

Apologies for harping on this theme.. Im one of those few remaining fools who refuse to see my "QL" as a retro machine. True, it cant be my main machine any more, for no fault of its own, as it has fallen by the wayside, having been surpassed by inferior, but better funded, systems. <> the...

It works, Norm! (As was to be expected ;)) But I hope this isnt going to be the New Normal for zip files now: Qdos EXecutables to have an Ecstasy [XTcc] header rather than being native Qdos. To my mind it would be better to zip native Qdos files using a Qdos-enabled zip. They can still be unzipped t...
