Yes, display_cde is the one I was thinking of.  I think I can get 
all I want
from this.  Thanks for jogging my memory and many thanks to Dilwyn 
for the

toolkit in the first place!

Adrian - please feel free to use or adapt display_cde in any way you 
see fit.


The sources are I think included in the package on the Toolkits page 
on my site, if not, just send me a private email and I'll send them.

You're right, it has always been called "SMSQ".



But yes, it did not include the PE, that was only the case of the "/E"
versions. But I still think this is a fringe case, it didn't even
include any BASIC language after all. It was pre-release software and
should be ignored for any new development, I think.


There is only one hardware, I assume: The so-called "Extended QL Emulator 
Card" (NOT QVME!) for the Atari ST series, with (I think) 780xXXX or similar 
(Jochen may prove).

Many thanks, Dilwyn.

This all came about because ... I've only just found time to revisit the
original Ser-USB File Manager program (now called USBWiz Terminal). It was
written over a year ago and needed some updating.

Because this program has to be able to run with nothing more than Toolkit 2
loaded, the first thing I had to do was to incorporate any machine code
extensions into the Turbo'd task.  It was while doing this that I remembered
Simon Goodwin's W_STORE and W_SHOW functions, which I'd used for for its
popup menus ... and they don't work with the higher screen resolutions!

I couldn't find any high resolution replacements, so if the USBWiz Terminal
is running on anything greater than Mode 8 it's going to insist that the
pointer environment is there to handle its window saves and restores ...
unless anyone knows of updated versions of W_STORE and W_SHOW?  I don't have
time to muck about developing my own at the moment.  The PE version - when I
get around to writing it - won't have this problem.

I now have two volunteers for testing the driver and expect to release the
first beta on the 14th March, after myself and my wife have (hopefully) had
a nice holiday ;)
