I'll be back. "The books" were written so long ago, even the people who wrote them must usually spend some serious time to answer questions like yours. Regarding your question in the forum, the internal save area format always has a "spare" long-word after each line, fuck knows why. So that is why every line is 4 bytes longer, because it just writes out the internal format. But it doesn't matter really, the "increment" field in the file header is what's important, for all it's worth it can be one 65kb per line and should still work, the field must just match the data. If you construct a file yourself, use whatever line increment pleases you. Marcel ___ QL-Users Mailing List

Hi, do you think it is possible to format a single item of an application window menu so that it always appears as a single element but divided into two lines?

SERMouse is a software driver from Albin Hessler to connect a serial PC mouse to one of the serial ports SER1 or SER2 of a QL. A specially wired adaptor cable is necessary between the mouse connector and the QL serial port. The driver exists both, in a 2-button mouse (Microsoft mode compatible) and a 3-button mouse (PC mouse systems compatible) version. Albin Hessler gave Marcel Kilgus permission to release the SerMouse software as freeware, so version 3.04 of the software is currently available. I’ve added it to the Pointer Environment page on my website to download free of charge. A manual is also available to download in Word and PDF formats, which includes wiring details of the mouse cable adapter needed for QL serial ports. Unfortunately, at the time of writing, I don’t know if the manual is for the same version of the mouse software. Download from http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/pe/index.html ___ QL-Users Mailing List

I'll be back. I must admit having missed your Forum entry. Without running your program I know that WSASV (EP4) and PSAVE (QPTR) will add padding, sometimes even 1 Long more than needed. They were written in QL mode days and clearly never changed for High Colour times. The same is probably true for the "Books", this padding is not mentioned there. That's why SQRview tests for any padding. When saving such a PIC as SPR the padding is already there and needs not to be added but too much padding may result in a slanted sprite if lines are not cut properly as it relies on x-width and not on line increment as PICs do.

I thought Id worked it all out, at least for some modes, but my rule- book does not appear to be complete, nor provide stable answers in all cases. Also, there are some formats Im not able to test.. So now Im confused and would like to get a "definitive" take on the matter. (...) As I understand it, Sprites must always be padded to Longs for all modes QL or GD2. PIC/PSA must be padded for modes 4 & 8. The GD2 modes 16 to 33 should/need not be padded and some viewers may have problems if they are. SQRview will detect excess padding and not show it. Bob This agrees with my experience of sprites and PIC files from when I was writing Q-Dock. Some unusual things can happen if the sprites aren't long word padded. I haven't much experience of PSA files, but since they are essentially PIC files with an extra long word in the preamble, I would assume they would handle exactly the same as PIC files after taking the extra long word into account.
