Re: I'm looking for a S*BASIC app, possibly by Tim Swenson!

Norman, Comments are only allowed as the first statement in a line (similar to shell scripting). So you line: x = 1: ** Just a variable named x. I not allowed in SSB and the ** is not the first two characters of the line. As for the line: 1020 REMark Indented comment. You are right in that REMARK is...

I wondered why my ears were burning earlier this morning.

Norman, if you have any questions on SSB, feel free to reach out to me.

Re: RCS (revision control system)

Looking back at QHJ #28, when I looked at RCS, I reported that 'diff' came with C68. In looking at the current version of C68, I'm not seeing 'diff' on any of the three download files. I'll look through some old diskettes and see if I have an older version of C68 with diff. Tim BTW, all issues of th...

Re: UNIX - a history and a memoir book

Sparrowhawk thanks for the recommendation. I ordered the book a month ago and took me just a few nights to complete it. Really a good book. Interesting to see how little memory the PDP-7 had when Unix was created.

Re: Andy Pennell's books.

Derek,

Glad you are using LibreOffice. From that PDF's can be easily created. I'm on OpenOffice guy, but Libre is close enough.

Re: are there music trackers for ql, and how sound works?

I've looked at the tracker for the ZX81. It is capable, but not easy to learn and the docs are as thin as a super model. Would be interesting to see a tracker on the QL, either using BEEP or the Sampled Sound System (SSS).

Re: IQLR Scans

I think those IQLR' are from my scans. We have a guy here in the US that is loading a bunch of Timex/Sinclair stuff to the Internet Archive. He runs www.timexsinclair.com. I scanned IQLR a while back and sent him a CD with the scans. He believes that archive.org will be around longer than some of ou...

Re: sQLux v1.0 (The Xmas Turkey)

I have done what might be considered a more user-friendly sQLux User Guide with pictures. I have also created a QLX.win file to go with sQLux to get someone started. It comes with zip, Xchange, the Pointer Environment, and some other utilities. It will get someone new to the QL up and running. Both ...
