Re: Delving Deeper into your ZX Spectrum

Hi Dilwyn, I just got a copy of your book, "Beyond simple BASIC, Delving Deeper into your ZX Spectrum" from eBay for the princely sum of £3.49. A most excellent read I must say, with some exceedingly helpful tips. I'm currently playing with the Boriel ZX Basic compiler, so it will be very...

Re: $$external problem

Hi I tried the Qlib_RUN2 runtimes and the compiled externals examples in the Qlib Manual now work in SMSQmulator and QPC2 Thanks Derek. I'll add QLIB_RUN2 to my Q-Liberator page now. Were you able to test if free-running compiled procedures (the type you start by placing an exclamation mark after t...

Re: $$external problem

You could try http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/qlib/index.html To the best of my knowledge, those on there only fix the ERNUM/ERLIN problem area in QLiberator. The QLIB_RUN_bas and QLibrun_bas programs are on older SMSQ/E disks from Jochen Merz, where they were mentioned in his printed SMSQ/E manuals. I don...

Re: $$external problem

There were two BASIC programs included with original SMSQ/Es - QLIB_RUN_bas and Qlibrun_bas, which I think is where the one Per mentioned came from, so might have been by Tony Tebby. The SMSQ/E manual states: QLiberators EXTERNals do not work If you have compiled own porcedures (sic.) and functions ...

Re: QL 34th Anniversary new hardware.

It is my decision whether I want to create support work for myself. And it is my own assessment whether publishing the Q60 design is likely to create support work. I sympathise with Peter on this one. People often seriously underestimate the amount of support work that the QL scene and retro compui...

Re: QL Software Preservation - Next Steps

It's a shame you can't put that as a caveat that they are essentially unsupported, and other than post a request on one of the forums, they are on their own. If only people would read caveats and take them seriously. Tell me about it. Completely pointless suggestion pr0f :x Some of us on the forums...
