It only took 6 years, but finally there is another official beta of QPC ;-) Don't hesitate because it's called a beta, it's very stable, I only want people to test the new keyboard driver first before calling it a release. It includes the latest SMSQ/E v3.16. New features: - Added new keyboard driver that doesn't rely on DirectX anymore. DirectX support in Windows became worse and worse over the years, so now QPC can use the Windows keyboard driver. Much work has been but into this feature to be as compatible as possible, so I hope it works for all countries and that even KEYROW continues to make some sense. SMSQ/E keyboard tables like the ones created by Clavier will NOT work with this driver, but the old driver is still in there, just select SMSQ/E as the keyboard driver in the configuration dialog. - Basic support for floppy disc images. Images can be configured on boot but currently not changed afterwards. - Various bug fixes including a probably more stable screen driver. - Some CPU fixes thanks to George Gwilt. While I'm at it, does anybody still use the fullscreen mode? I'm considering moving away from DirectX completely, which would also get rid of native full screen mode. But in times of LCDs it's probably not that important anymore anyway. Download link: http://www.kilgus.net/qpc/downloads.html Cheers, Marcel I havent been able to test it before now, and only scantly at that. My machines now run Windoze 7, either 64bit or 32bit versions. I struggled a bit to configure SMSQE, as none of the changes I made to it via the QPC configuration screen, nor the MenuConfig application seemed to get saved. So after some faffing around, unsure of whether Id downloaded the Demo by mistake or what, I figured out the problem and a solution. W7 wont allow just any program to make changes to files in the Program Files directory. One solution is to copy the smsqe.bin file to a harmless temporary folder and update it there using MenuConfig, and then move it back to the correct location. Regarding your question about full screen mode [FSM], I prefer FSM on my laptops, but find it gets too big and unwieldy on my large display. Of course there are limitations/irritations whan using the current FSM, such as when using Remote Desktop Connection, and sometimes when coming out of sleep mode. FSM gives the feeling of running a real, top-notch QL, though, which is why I prefer it. I guess I can learn to live without.. One problem with W7 I find, is that M$ seems to have a new policy when updating the OS: It can update quietly when you arent looking and shut down/restart the computer without user consent! I suppose it is possible to alter this behaviour (though I havent tried, as I have more and more given up the struggle to maintain my system manually in accordance with my own idiosynchratic requirements in the teeth of Windoze's reluctant cooperation!) Therefore my question is: Is it very difficult or a great deal of work to make smsqe hibernate? QPC could then react to a shut down request from Windoze by saving its own state before quitting. On restarting QPC (or any other platform) one would have the choice of resuming the previous session or starting afresh. Whatever the answer to the question above: QPC is still the best QL Ive ever had the pleasure of using, so THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MARCEL! Per Can't recall the exact problem but Marcel suggested QPC should live in my files problem solved - strange but true. so far no problems with QPC in W8 (which I'm coming round to Metro and all ) seems like the norm (or trending getting down with the kids) is to make everything work like a tablet, shame surely can't be that much more coding to make stuff duel prupose. all the best - Bill ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

Re: [Ql-Users] Jan Jones
From: Dilwyn Jones dil...@evans1511.fsnet.co.uk To: ql-us...@q-v-d.com Sent: Tuesday, 3 April 2012, 15:04 Subject: Re: [Ql-Users] Jan Jones To know the exact present copyright position we would have to have access to the legal agreement between Jan Jones and McGraw-Hill; the legal agreement between Jan Jones and Quanta; and any possible legal agreements between Quanta and McGraw-Hill. I doubt this will help much, but inside my copy, a Quanta limited edition one according to the cover, I see the following at the bottom of the Preface to the 2nd Edition page: Copyright Notice As of December 1987 all rights in this book reverted to Jan Jones. No portion of this book may be reproduced without her written permission. On the page before that I also see this: This QUANTA LIMITED EDITION prited in July 1989. Copyright 1989 Quanta. All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced .. without prior written permission of QUANTA, or of the original copyright holder. Now, given my limited legal qualifications - I'm not a lawyer and I don't play one on TV either - but it sounds to me that we can get permission from Quanta or Jan Jones? Quanta have discussed this before and are aware of the 'reverted to Jan Jones' issue. Previous reprints were organised (I think) by Phil Borman and possibly John Taylor. There is an email to this list by John Taylor on 7/3/11: The QL must be very much alive. The used Jan Jones book sold for £23 on eBay. Quanta sold them, new, for £8 JJ got £5 and Quanta paid for the reprint out of their £3. Which at least shows John Taylor has at least some knowledge of the matter. As Sarah is away, I'll ask Alison to delve into past Quanta minutes to see what if any information we can find on the subject, as I don't know whether the original Quanta permission was for one reprint or ongoing. Dilwyn Jones are we allowed to read the book All the best - Bill ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
