Peter Graf has kindly replied already and sent me a 
complete-ready-to-go zip file of emulator and Cygwin files. I cleared 
out all the old version (winuqlx and cygwin) and Peter told me to just 
unzip it into a directory and call the batch files, it should just 
fire up.

The uQLx is 1 version later than the one I got from Phoebus, but sadly 
results are exactly the same so far - the uqlx.bat batch file opens a 
command window which displays the batch file messages for 12 seconds 
then quietly dies without any messages.

So, no joy so far, but at least Peter is on the case. I've sent him 
the results to see if he can suggest where to go from here. Of course, 
I know nothing about Cygwin so I may be doing something completely and 
disastrously wrong without knowing, although Peter's instructions did 
imply it should really be unzip, run batch and go.

When I get time, I'll unzip Peter's files to my Wife's Win98SE laptop 
and try it there, in case it's just the WinXP on this machine causing 
problems.

It'll be nice to get win-uqlx running, as I have experience now of the 
other QL emulators for Windows, so I'll look forward to learning about 
this one too.

You are working fast, Dilwyn ... :-)

I have realised that I just haven't got a copy of the QEmulator on the 
PC that I am using for this purpose - an old Pentium 150MHz with WIN98 ( 
not WIN95 as stated earlier ).

So, that is why I am getting an error.

Apart from that I get the XWindow and everything else working OK.  So 
that side of it is fine.

I believe that I either got my version directly from Phoebus, by email, 
at the time, or he directed me to the other files needed like Cygwin.

If Phoebus can still be contacted I am sure he will be able to help with 
sorting out a working version on your PC system.

Just to say, as well, the advantage of "uqlx" is that it is a port that 
can work on many Operating Systems.
