Re: [ql-users] SMSQ/E v3.12 released

2006-03-13 Thread Claude Mourier 00
Great ! This was a painful feature since original QDOS because it could freeze 
any job without notice

Is there any reason to turn off this feature (slow down for instance) ? 

New keyword is a good news too as it allows more interaction between jobs.

Hi all,

SMSQE v. 312 is finally out, after MArcel helped me iron out some wrinkles 
that weren't of his doing.

Your resellers should have received SMSQE 3.12 now.

(If you are a reseller and heven't received it, contact me).


What's new in this version:


Background drawing: Even when a window is partially covered, printing into
this window continues. This goes with two new Basic commands: PE_BGON to
turn this feature on, PE_BGOFF to turn this feature off.  By default, this
feature is TURNED OFF, so use the PE_BGON command in your boot file
if you want to keep it on.

Basic has a new command line history: if you press the up/down arrows, you 
get
the latest commands entered.

New Basic command JOBID, by Per Witte:
result = JOBID [({nr, tag} | name )] named job id or my id (no parameters)

Thierry Godefroy improved Qx0 cache handling.

Jochen Merz donated the source code for the uti and util_menus libraries
to the SMSQE source code. Hence, the libraries are no longer used, we use
the direct files instead.

New commands POKE_F, POKES_F,PEEK_F, PEEKS_F for flaoting point 
poking/peeking by Marcel Kilgus.

Have fun all

QL forever

Wolfgang

No, I don't know any, at least on QPC/Qx0. I just did that to play it
safe. Performance on Aurora is still unknown, though.

Try this instead :
130 euro = '16'
140 PRINT IDEC$(euro,11,2)

And calculation is more accurate to.

Yes, I know, but that's the problem.
consider the following:
euro=1599.99
rem euros have to be displayed officially with 2 decimals
rem or with a '-' if no decimals
rem ex. 43.21
rem ex. 43.00
rem ex. 43,-

print fdec$(euro,11,2)
rem euro is displayed correctly
euro=1699.99
print fdec$(euro,11,2)
rem euro is not displayed correctly
rem conclusion: 1599.99 is the highest values in euros that 
rem can be displayed.
rem not good enough for me.
rem if I'm wrong, please correct.

Rem that's not the amount of my bank account, unfortunatly :(

Glad to see someone is using more reliable technology than CD-ROMS.  I've just 
recently bought a Hi-Minidisc recorder and have configured QPC2 to run on it.  
The big advantage over memory sticks is the cost of the recordable discs.  
£4.99 (from Amazon.co.uk) for a massive 1Gb or around 50p for 270Mb with 
existing 80 minute discs.  And you have portable high quality sound too (better 
than MP3).  I'm hoping to write a article for QL-Today about it.  The trickiest 
part of configuring QPC2 to run on portable media is telling QPC2 the root 
directory of the device you've just plugged in 'cause it will be different on 
each PC you use.  Ken Bain is right about lack of documentation on DOS 
directories.  I didn't know aboout the 'dot backslash', I'll have to give it a 
try.

Most definitely would be of interest - would mean that we could offer a  
much more secure form of database to the wider community I should imagine  
- ie. the database stored within a QL emulator, which could be addressed  
 from a PC or unix using SQL !!

Joachim then identified a third problem if we are to use a PFF device.  If 
two programs on the QL try to print at the same time, then the output can 
become corrupt.  We therefore decided that what is needed is a printer 
management program (the FILTER THING) which will capture the output from 
all the open PFF devices and store it for processing by filters one at a 
time.  It would also enable more than one type of filter to be present in 
the QL at the same time (for example, for printing via Proforma, creating 
Postscript output or even for creating HTML output).
