 Hi all,

 I've ported Richard Zidlicky's emulator UQLX to Windows. My first 
 impression was that it worked quite nicely, at least under NT. Under 9x 
 there seem to be some difficulties.

Thanks to you both! I think after Phoebus has completed his improvements 
and added the installer, my old version should be removed in order to avoid 
confusion.

By the way, distribution of the JSROM image with uQLx in North America has 
kindly been permitted by Frank Davis and Paul Holmgren who own the

All the best

Noted. However you can never be careful enough :-) I am going to add the JS

[ql-users] WebCam

2003-08-02 Thread Tarquin Mills

Hi
  Am doing several secret projects for the QL, one was writing a Webcam
driver. So there I am mottled black Q60 with webcam plugged in. Printed 
copy of a manual on how to develop non-wintel webcam drivers for my 
webcam's chipset, lying open on the desk. So I enter an SBASIC program 
to read the webcam version numbers from the cam. To find that SMSQ/E can
only transmit from the par device. Where do I go from here?

Apologises if have offend anyone, I know that this must date back to the

 In fact I would say, it the Microemacs editor is one of the best programs
 around.
 It is hard to believe that it is PD software

You'd probably need to jumper your IO card into EPP/ECP mode and directly 
access the parallel port hardware.

In principle Emacs in not *Linux* software. it has evolved and the GNU 
Emacs (where MicroEmacs is based IIRC) is a program compatible with the 
original Emacs (which is about 30years old IIRC)

All parallel printer interfaces for the QL are output only I am afraid,
as far as I recall.

Looking at the superQboard  circuit diagram, that was output only.
Certainly the Medic is.

The only others I think are the serial port versions, which certainly
are output only.

Sturat did think of input on SGC (8-(#

Ah sorry Tarquin - I didn't see the magic words Q60
I was confused by your closing comment on the SGC.

[ql-users] MicroEMACS syntax highlighting. Was: Re: SuperBasic syntaxhighlighter for free...

 I am not sure if Emacs supports syntax highlighting...
  
  
  It does...

 I wish I knew how to get it working though.

By default, the syntax hilighting is disabled (because it eats memory and
processor power, which may be annoying on the less powerful QDOS systems).

You can enable it by adding the HILITE global mode, either at run time
(go into the Var./Modes menu, select the HILITE button, then click on
Add a global mode), or at startup time, by adding the following line
into your uelocal_rc file:

add-global-mode HILITE

Then, each new file you will load into MicroEMACS will be hilighted
according to its extension name (SBASIC for _bas, _sbas and _ssb, C
for _c and _h, ASSEMBLER for _asm and _s, MACRO for _rc and _cmd,
HTLM for _htm and _html). There is also a CUSTOM hilighting mode
using hooks to your own hilighting routines (to be written in
MicroEMACS macro language).

You may also force the hilighting for a given file, if its extension
is not matching one of the above. For example, you may force SBASIC
hilighting after having loaded the win1_boot file: again with the
Var./Modes menu, select Set a variable value, choose the $syntax
variable and enter SBASIC...

Of course, all the above is explained in the MicroEMACS help file ;-)

QDOS/SMS forever !
