The Sinclair QL Forum

Just out of interest, when you try to upload an image, are you doing it from within editing the page? Or do you click on the spanner/wrench button then select Media Manager?

I've been doing the former, but the latter did work for me today. I do have admin privs though which may help.

Just wondering. Rob is trying to get some support from the hosts on this matter, in case anyone was thinking that nothing is being done. They are not proving to be very helpfl unfortunately -- I think we may have beaten them this time. They did fix the problem at first, but then it came back again.

Cheers,
Norm.

I always do the spanner button into the media manager. And when I try to upload it presents a 403 error which blocks me from doing anything for a short while, including accessing the forum here because it's obviously on the same server. It failed just now at about 14:55 German time and my current IP is 79.240.77.129.

Ok, thanks.

I had the same problem, 403 forbidden when uploading, then the same on the forum. A couple of refreshes seemed to fix the forum problem.

Cheers,

HI

I loaded the original PDF file into gscan2pdf, to split the scanned manual into single pages, then used "ocrmypdf" and "tesseract" to OCR the PDF into a ASCII text file.

The ASCII text file was imported into LibreOffice Writer and formatted as per the original manual.

I added the QL WIKI information to the LibreOffice file and exported to a PDF.

I have added an extra page in Appendix A

Resultant file is very small compared to the original scanned version, the files many need proof reading, to make sure I have got the spelling correct.

Here is the cleaned up version of the Mcgraw Hill Assembler Manual This is a zip archive with the original manual in single pages, LibreOffice Wrtier file and the above PDF.

Thanks Derek, I'll add the first one to my little page.

Great Derek, looks just like old TT manuals

I've done a little work on the assembler's editor, changes listed in the updates_txt file in the zipped attachment. The editor is now v1.02.

Ah, you are on a good way to S_Edit

Pity there is no syntax colouring.

I presume S_Edit has all this builtin?

No, my intention for S_Edit was to have a small editor together with ProPub in a 640kB QL. For syntax highlighting, I think there is a plug-in for Notepad++ elsewhere.
