This is the sort of thing I mean. So many manuals rattle this stuff out like a machine gun and the poor non technical user who wants to get to be technical retires hurt. As I said, I can do QPC2 etc. If someone could do it for the emulators I would be happy to put it into my text. I don't even mind correcting the English but it does have to be simple.Can't get any clearer than that :-P
Blimey Phoebus - this is not exactly very well put - not a guide for beginners and just the sort of thing to put people off trying these emulators. A beginner wants to know how set up a hard disk within an emaulator, cop a QL disk onto that hard drive and use it to run programs from.
1) You say you have the uqlx.rc file
a) Where would a user find this
b) Which line in it would the user have to amend and what would they put to map win1_ to D:\QL (or whatever it is)?
2) Where is the MDV/WIN configuration on the gui (what is a gui - beginners who have limited experience of Windows and MACs will not even know this term). Is the gui the main emulator menu which surrounds the QL screen?
3) On Q-Emulator - you need to tell people what the "microdrive slot" items are - maybe some diagrams are needed (I know that are the little white boxes which appear under the QL screen on Q-Emulator - but it is not actually obvious that is what these are, and even that there 8 slots available if you maximise the window.
