Re: George Gwilt's Programs

OK, thanks. I'll deal with what you sent, via the link.

XorA has all of George's floppies, machines, magazines and everything else, so they are saved for posterity. Phew!

Cheers,
Norm.

George Gwilt's Programs

I wanted to check if I had the latest copies of George's assemblers GWASL and GWASS and discovered that http://gwiltprogs.info is no longer present, other than a blank landing page. It would be a huge shame if George's programs vanished from the world, in my opinion, so I have set them up on the Sin...

Re: Happy Birthday!

Thanks Dilwyn.

Unfortunately, the pickling fluids were too strong, so there's still half a bottle in the fridge! So Alison had a tea while I had a decaff! I also fixed some plumbing problems with the shower head thingy attached to the bath mixer taps. Living the dream! :D :D :D

Cheers,
Norm.

Re: Run a SuperBasic program from Assembler?

Unfortunately, Wolfgang's documentation describes the raw binary format expected by config. Tony's macros, however (which are a bit fragile and not absolutely obvious to use) are not described there. I seem to recall my original QPTR documentation had some description of the config macros, but more...

Re: Run a SuperBasic program from Assembler?

The official documentation for Config may also help. It's downloadable from Wolfgang's web site at https://www.wlenerz.com/qlstuff/Config.zip.

Re: Run a SuperBasic program from Assembler?

Hi T0nyt, you asked about using config as a QL best practice. You don't have to! My suggestion was simply a feeble attempt at humour. Sorry. However, as relates to your "menu" system, you will always be LRUNning the same S*BASIC program, so no need for a config block. However, if this was ...

Re: Run a SuperBasic program from Assembler?

And, for your next iteration, add a config block so that the command to be typed in is configurable without having to edit and reassemble the code! :D :D :D :D By the way, there was nothing wrong with your code, it worked. My comments were there to point you at "better" QDOS specific stuff...
