Subject: Re: [ql-users] £ 1000 to spend! (2nd attempt!)



 I approached Fred Toussi a while ago about doing an
 upgrade to Text 87 and suggested that he could produce a new version
 using the new colours and adding simple stuff like access to pointer
 driven menus for file selection (via Menu_rext). He was not keen. I
 suggested he gave us the sources and we could get someone to do it but
 he regarded his sources as being secret .

Ah yes, but was he offered serious money?


 Qliberator was another story but Ian Stewart, who was my only contact,
 had only a small part in writing it. The other author, whose name
 escapes me, had long since disappeared and the sources were not
 available. I have now no contact for Ian so when the last few copies I
 have are exhausted I cannot sell it.  I have not sold a copy for some
 time so I am not too worried but I would have liked to get it updated.

This is really disappointing, because, if the sources were available they
would probably be relatively cheap to buy. It would have been a valuable
contribution to the future of the QL. But again, would money help in a
search for the source code?

Don't forget I am not suggesting asking people for the source code, but
buying it. No trader could afford to do this, because it would have to be
done at a loss. Quanta does have the resources and this could become one way
in which Quanta could better serve the QL community.

Re: [ql-users] problem with the new C68 pieces for WMAN

2004-03-20 Thread Dave Walker



The RELOC_START entry is in the version of the 
startup module that is used if you are using LD v2 with c68. The 
RELOC_START is a symbol that is automatically generated by LD 
v2.

Hmmm, this subject is getting a bit 'woolly'. But I mutton't make

[ql-users] Sprite Program

2004-03-20 Thread RWAPSoftware



Can someone please remind me - where can I get the new sprite designer 
program for Pointer Environment.

See, this is the problem with public domain software - it is not advertised 
anywhere!

not that simple I think, are they in lamb?, or maybe lambs?, breeding
stock?, ewe's?, tups?.
What is the exchange rate   welsh sheep to Euro sheep.
And last but by no means least - you may need a license !

OK - I found sprited at last on Thierry's site (v1.10) - is there a 
later version.
This program seems easy enough to use, but has no manual alas and I can see 
no way of saving the design as a blob and a pattern which is what I really 
wanted to do (as EasySprite attempts to do).

IIs there another version or program??
