Re: Has anyone ever tried "long filenames" from H.P.Recktenwald?
Hi Derek, I remember many years ago -- which is unusual for me, remembering stuff -- having a rant about this very matter. Why does the QL's file system need to include the whole directory tree in each and every filename in the directory? The eRant is at https://normandunbar.github.io/RantsAndRaves/...
Re: Noisy MDV
Beware!! WD40 is not a lubricant, it is a cleaner and water dispersant -- that's what the "WD" stands for. It may lubricate for a wee while, but it will also remove any existing lube too. Apparently, many cyclists have been using WD40 on their bike chains with nasty results. Lots of useful...

Re: sQLux v1.0 (The Xmas Turkey)
I have consulted that site on several occasions, and it has always been very useful. Congratulations. Rich, of RWAP fame, is responsible for the content. It was originally a book to purchase. I merely got involved in converting the text from really nasty HTML exported from the original sources in T...

Re: sQLux v1.0 (The Xmas Turkey)
Thanks for that image of the Spanish QL keyboard. I have added it to the appendix for the Online SuperBASIC manual. A build is executing, even as I type. It should be available in about 5 minutes, depending on server load. https://superbasic-manual.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Appendices/Appendix09.html...

Norm's Blog and QDOSMSQ Web Site
Qdosmsq.dunbar-it.co.uk has been offline for a wee while. For those who don't know, this was my online QDOS/SMSQ Internals Wiki and was written by myself and George Gwilt back in the annals of history. It appears that nobody noticed! :o :o :o As my hosting invoice has become ready for payment, I'm w...

Re: In the market
Hi Andrew, I haven't quite figured out how to install software sourced from Dilwyn (thank you Dilwyn). Is there a resource you can point me to that would instruct? In my case, I download the file to my laptop. I have my win1_ drive pointing to a QL style hard drive image and also, my QPC dos1_ drive...

Re: sQLux v1.0 (The Xmas Turkey)
I had a look on the Online SuperBASIC Manual, as that has a section on keyboards at https://superbasic-manual.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Appendices/Appendix09.html#a9-2-keyboard-layouts , but unfortunately, no Spanish one. :( If anyone has a keyboard of the named versions already present, would you mi...
