Hi,
Does anyone have the manual for Menuconfig?
I am trying to understand the "menuconfig.inf" file.

Hi Derek,
You probably already have the manual as you supplied in the Q68 QXLwin files when I bought my Q68 from you.

Re: Menuconfig Manual
Hi,
I have already read this, forgive me for forgetting how difficult these manuals are written, not obvious about the detail of the INF file.
Personally, I do not use INF files, as they seem to be too much trouble, even if the manual was clearly written for mere mortal like me.

Re: Menuconfig Manual
I always thought the menuconfig_inf was maybe a bit over-engineered for the QL - It was intended to carry over your configs from update to update (which makes it pretty useless these days), and I actually never used it.Derek_Stewart wrote: ↑Tue Feb 07, 2023 9:26 am Hi,

Re: Menuconfig Manual
I would use menuconfig_inf for SMSQ/E updates, but something in the mechanism is unreliable, at least on non-emulator systems. I repeatedly experience small unexpected issues like misbehaving configurations or menuconfig itself hanging, depending on version, prior configuration inside menuconf_inf, or hard to reproduce circumstances. Enough to be annoying, but not enough to want to debug it. So I end up using an older, seemingly more reliable, version of the menuconfig executable and doing a new manual configuration of SMSQ/E everytime there is an update.
