But if I started to learn it properly, I am sure it would make much more sense. The way Easy68K, displays things does make it more understandable, at least to me anyway. For example I have never realy understood which registers are used for what. Also managing the stack is not clear to me either. But to be fair I have not studied it that closely. I realy must go back to the start of your series in QLT, and re-read it all, and start to work though your examples. I have played with some the PRT stuff in your more recent articles, which has been of great interest to me. But have to admit I have not understood it all. That is down my lack of knowledge, not your work. Since one of my planed projects whould most likely be better done in MC.

Hmmm. Do my QL Today articles on the matter, since many many years ago, not inspire you? :-( Cheers, Norm. Although I have programmed in Assembler from years back on IBM and Ferranti machines as well as the QL it is only after reading Norman's articles that I find that Assembler is actually easier than SuperBASIC and much, much easier than C.

The menu is a simple Basic program that is run from win1_. (win1_boot). You can thus interrupt it by the CTRL+SpAce keysroke. You can also hit the ESC key. Now type WMON. This will bring up the red,white black windows. To get back to the menu just type run which will rerun the program. * How can I bring the three panels up to display size? Well you will have to set the window sizes with the WINDOW command. Do you think you can do that? I could set up a procedure that checks the window sizes and fits everything together (not before this weekend). * How can I add my own programs to the menu? Simple : edit the basic program, adding your wishes and resave it as win1_boot. Wolfgang. Thank you very much Wolfgang. It will take me a little time to get my head round this, and work out the sequence. To get Xchange to full display size perhaps I need to change the native laptop screen to a differnt scaling. That would perhaps be easier on the Raspberrypi as it wouldn't interfere with normal laptop usage. I'm on an uphill learning curve here and a downslide in ability at 86!! Anyway, keeps the neurons battling away. Bryan H ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

Anyway, keeps the neurons battling away. Bryan H This has been a problem for me too. On my Macbook Pro 17 (1920 x 1200) the screen is about 8cm x 12cm and the writing is just too small to read comfortably. There's no obvious way to change the scale of the window so I can see it more easily. The only way to increase the size I have found is to change the resolution of the entire screen, which means my OS X screen area is reduced 75%, which is obviously a problem in normal use. Am I missing something? Dave ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
Re: [Ql-Users] Easy68K
I've given this a try, with a couple of the example programs, running under Wine on Linux. I'm seriously impressed. Single stepping and/or debugging code is much much easier when the debugger steps through your own code listing! Wish QMON/JMON had that ability! Back in the days when I wrote stuff for DJC, there was talk of a Pointer Environment version of a QMON-a-like utility. It obviously never came to anything did it? Does anyone know?
