Re: [Ql-Users] The Tebby Files
No, I'm not knocking our posties. I think that they do a fantastic job. Our postie (a very pleasant female!!) only has time to greet her customers on the run so to speak as she always seems to have plenty more to deliver when she's been to us at anything up to noon (occasionally later) but she always has a smile and a tickle behind the ear for one or more of our cats. - jealous? Who, ME? She keeps me supplied with GPO red elastic bands which she says are rubbish but I find quite serviceable. More and more often these days I find that she is also leaflet dropping along with the genuine post. This must add tremendously to the weight of the mail sacks and the time to complete the walk. No wonder she doesn't have time to search through for my copy of QLToday!! (Back on topic?) Regards to all, including our posties. John G.

[Ql-Users] ethernet on Q40/Q60
Can someone point me to information on getting ethernet going on the Q60? I need to know what software I need and what I can expect to do (ftp, telnet email, http etc...) I'm sure its been discussed before but I'm a few years out of date. Thanks, Don ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
[Ql-Users] Mandelbrot Magic
Hi, does anyone remember the program Mandelbrot Magic, written by Christian Cahn von Seelen, sold by Ultrasoft (under David B.Smith)? I got in touch with Christian, he was very impressed by Rich's QL Wiki. 8-) Christian will look for the sources of that program, written in 68k assembler. I have an original cartridge, but no backup on disk. If anyone has the program and is able to disassemble it, I will pass the output text to Christian. He offers to comment any kind of disassembled output text of the program. Anyway, he will search for the sources. Cheers...Ralf ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
[Ql-Users] Help with BASIC/SBASIC WINDOWS
Many years ago, I wrote some BASIC code to assist me in putting together a ONE NAME study as part of our genealogical activity. Recently, my trusty Aurora/SGC/QuBide set-ups have been letting me down and I have been advised (as a precaution) to transfer all the programs and data across to QPC2 on my PC. For various reasons, the original BASIC programs are returning various error reports (most of which are the results of not thoroughly thinking the job through whilst writing the code) so I am revisiting the programs from scratch - Thank goodness for all the REM Statements!! :-) The BOOT not only loads various toolkits and sets up some hotkeys etc and then goes on to layout what I have called a GENERAL MENU SCREEN which offers various choices for the rest of the program. This screen, I use over and over again at various stages in the program and consists of various WINDOW statements with BORDER, PAPER, INK, CSIZE parameters being set. I finish up with the whole of the 512x256 available screen being split up by 2 pixel wide BORDERS. This routine runs perfectly on my Aurora/SGC set-ups in either QDOS - JS Roms - or SMSQ but when I run the same boot in QPC2 v3.34 beta 3, I tend to lose the top and both side borders completely and just have various horizontal lines across the screen. My PC is running WINDOWS VISTA home premium with service pack 2. Can anyone suggest what may be happening and offer any advice on how to cure this problem? I can post the listing if anyone wants to try it out. cheers, John Gilpin. ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
Re: [Ql-Users] Help with BASIC/SBASIC WINDOWS
A bit of a code would be helpful...;-). Have you investigated any statement, which makes your window looking so different?

Re: [Ql-Users] Help with BASIC/SBASIC WINDOWS
Hi Ralf, I will send you the boot file privately - no attachments on the list and it's a bit big to put into an email. Please feel free to put any part of it on the list if you think that others may help. Regards, John Gilpin. Ralf Reköndt wrote: A bit of a code would be helpful...;-).

Hi, I think you need to have linux installed and and ISA ethernet card.
