What you need as a base for a QXL file system is just a plain file of a certain size. No other requirements (everything else will be handled by formatting the drive from SMSQ/E).
From Linux, you'd simply issue a command like
Code: Select all
dd if=/dev/null of=QXL.WIN count=10M
From Windows CMD prompt, you can use the
fsutil command
Code: Select all
fsutil file createnew QXL.WIN 10000000
And, even simpler, you can create a QXL container file from Q68 SMSQ/E directly by (refer to p. 26 of the Q68 manual)
All of these create a file of ~10M that can then be formatted using normal FORMAT commands.
