Re: [Ql-Users] SMSQ/E 3.13/menu_rext bugs ?
Hi, regarding the error message: There was a small bug in the test - it tested for QPC, not SMSQ/E. That is fixed - I have just uploaded QMENU 8.02 to the JMS update server - so it's there for free download for all registered users. Best regardsJochen Francois Lanciault wrote: Hi, I just update my old SMSQ/E (thanks Bruce) to version 3.13 but I have a few problems. First, the menu_rext extension (that is included on the disk) wont load giving the very surprising message... "This menu_rext release is only licensed for use on SMSQ/E" ... considering that I am running SMSQ/E. (Checked just after the error message using ver$ = "HBA" and ver$(1) = "3.13") The other problem I have is with the option to move the whole window when dragging with the mouse. The problem is that the window will only move up when I move the mouse up but will remain stationary if I move the mouse in any other directions. The mouse works fine otherwise. The mouse is an Atari mouse attached to the QIMI port of my Aurora board. The same problem exist on Minerva + the latest Wman & Ptr_gen. After more experimentation, I noticed that it is in fact possible to move the window in all direction IF I move the mouse very vigourously. And I mean VERY vigourously. Even, doing that will make the window move a tiny bit where it would be supposed to move all the way across the screen. Again, moving up is smooth and fast. I cannot check if the same problem occurs with a serial mouse as I don't have a compatible mouse anymore. I have not finished updating my setup, I might have other questions or problem to report later.

Re: [Ql-Users] Qubide 2 and CDs
Bob, DiscOver will not look inside QXL.WIN files on a MSDOS format disk. It would probably not be difficult to add that facility as for testing purposes I developed the capability to specify a disk image for any of the formats that DiscOVER supports. It might just be a case of exposing this capability in the standard version - I will think about how easy it might be to do.

Re: [Ql-Users] Qubide 2 and CDs
Use QPC2, it can read / write to any QXL.WIN file. QPC2 is the best Emulator.

Re: [Ql-Users] Qubide 2 and CDs
My question is how to read/write inside the QXL.WIN's I have created on them. Hi Bob, The SBASIC code for reading QXLwin files is in the QCDEZE source which comes with QCDEZE. The base CD reading code could be adapted to read FAT16. Its a piece of work that might be feasable once my present project is finished as I have other SBASIC code that can read & write to FAT16. If Discover can be adapted then obviously there is no need to adapt QCDEZE.
