[ql-users] BMP second release
BMP The second release of my BMP program is now available. This fixes a number of bugs in the first release and includes some extra facilities in response to feedback received on the first release. The major new feature is the facility to convert between QL file formats - Screen, PIC, PSA and Page Designer formats. BMP also now handles PIC and PSA files where the line increment may not be the same as that suggested by the physical number of pixels per line. Improvements have been made to the handling and display of Q40/Q60 graphics on a QPC2 system, and conversion of Aurora mode 16 graphics to Q40/Q60 is now more robust (hopefully - I don't have a Q60 to test it on, so I hope someone will try it and let me know if it doesn't work!) BMP is freeware and may be downloaded from: www.dilwyn.uk6.net/graphics/index.html -- Dilwyn Jones -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

Re: [ql-users] Metacomco Pascal
Okay, this is imprecise -- it is something like: SBYTES flp1_pascal 0,65536 Where "pascal" (in this example) is the name of the file you want to save ... "65536" presumes you are buring a 64K EPROM. "49152" will presume you only want 48K of code ... etc. There is probably a delimiter between the file name & numbers ... probably, an underscore. Does that look familiar?

[ql-users] Metacomco Pascal
I am having problems with the ROM cartridge for Metacomco Pascal in that it is only rarely recognised by the QL for some reason. Does anyone have an image of the ROM cartridge (or can anyone remind me how to make one with SBYTES...) and I can look at getting it reblown. Looks like another little job for Tony F. - checking the actual cartridge circuit board and maybe reblowing the EPROM. -- Rich Mellor RWAP Services URL:http://www.rwapsoftware.co.uk URL:http://www.rwapadventures.com URL:http://www.rwapservices.co.uk URL:http://www.internetbusinessangels.com ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
