If you weren't located in Scotland, the question would have been:

Was that the length or width? ;)

If I were not now in Scotland the answer would have been

width 7ft or
length 30yds

I know this because I was taught (while doing National Service in the RAF) how 
to estimate distances. You take a point half way and estimate the shorter 
distance. By applying that method enough times I was able to use a ruler to 
find accurately 2^-11 of the distance. Using QPC2 to multiply that by 2048 gave 
me the length required. Same for the width.

He he.

Now that the winds have died down here, although the snow isn't deep, the 
wind and blizzard conditions yesterday have left some very pretty up and 
down wave forms in the snow. If I knew enough maths it'd make an interesting 
study I'm sure.


Still too cold (for me) to venture out so back to the QL for today ;-)

Re: [Ql-Users] SMSQ/E

2013-01-19 Thread Wolfgang Lenerz

Hi all,

SMSQ/E v. 3.14, with the new licence, has been moved to:

www.wlenerz.com/smsqe.

There isn't really much that is new in 3.14, except that it contains the 
SMSQ/E code for SMSQmulator  -  no need to upgrade except for that.
