Would be better as a kind of THG% in the system.
I see you beat me to it!
However, that is in the existing QDOSMSQ system. A brand new one may
decide to implement the JPEG Thing differently, perhaps.
That's what I meant (I mostly use this THG% abbreviation...sounds
better...;-)).
I also have never understand, why TT hasen't implement printer driver as
THG%, Jochen has proved it with his own device for QWriter 2, ok, not a
Thing but nearby ;-).
And about the PE....we all know, that VirtualBasic (...ahem...) isn't the
real thing, but it is so easy to design a window, make a few radio buttons
or combo boxes etc.
My first QPTR program was a windowing environment for QPLQ (whis was "CLI"
driven by nature). I have used the SB Procs and FNs from the DEMO program of
QPTR. A least...it works but don't ask me why. It was (and is) horrible
complicated. In my opinion. And has taken me ages to get it work and to half
understand the things.
OK, I then had a PE environment, but it has given 30k more compiled
code...for merely nothing than using a mouse. I have been warned by TT ;-).
I still want something like the neat "simple" things QLib does (whith a few
ASM extensions in it's code) or something like Jochen's Pointers&Writers
Toolkit, a bit enhanced.
Just to select a few items, print something in a window etc. Maybe to
enhance my S_Edit a bit. But not with QPTR nor EasyPTR. As QLib has done it
easier...there MUST be a way to do it easier. But that needs someone, who
writes the decent ASM routines for neat keywords. Not my thing ;-))
Cheers...Ralf
