Re: [ql-users] NESQLUG website, Q-Word etc...
Q-Word? I must have missed something here. What is it? It's a Word puzzle game :-) You get a screen with mixed up letters and you find words in it... when you do so the tiles dissappear and a picture appears below them... It works with all languages Q-Typ dictionaries exist in :-) Sounds great. Id like to order now. How much? ;) Per I am afraid you'll need to wait a little bit and in any case you should contact Rich ;-) It's been splashed across Rich's adverts for a while now, albeit with no real information on what it was other than the name itself. -- Dilwyn Jones

Phoebus P.S. Dilwyn, I just sent to you the QL emulators CD v. 2 rel 3 (includes UAE QDOS classic for an impressive array of target platforms... BeOS and OS/2 as well as RISCOS included plus ADF Opus to create ADF disk images under Windows ;-) P.S. (1) Expect a new version of my BMP2PIC that's faster, meaner and two-way (from AND to BMP, Mode 32, 33 and Mode 256) in your mailbox pretty soon...

Hi all, in about a week or so the new NESQLUG website will be on: www.dokos-gr.net/~nesqlug and for NESQLUG matters the director's (Al Boehm) email will be [EMAIL PROTECTED] (You may want to check with Al's regular address before you start sending him email to the new address however). We are currently gathering all past NESQLUG newsletters and software to be available from one place. Any NESQLUG members reading the list please contact me at phoebus@last name-gr.net for more info. In other news, I FINALLY found the time to upload all the updated material from Dilwyn's website making the mirror up-to-date (by the time you read these lines I will have also updated the index file). Also, I updated Dilwyn's QL Emulators CD which now includes WinUAE for the following platforms: (Windows, DOS, Linux x-86, Linux PPC, Linux-Arm, BeOS and MacOS) and Mark's QDOS Classsic rom as well as his support file disk images. The WinUAE / QDOS Classic emulator supports SSS, hi-end 68K processors (ie 68040), QubIDE rom (you got to have workbench and kickstart roms to do so) and is adding a multitude of systems where QL emulation is possible. Finally, some news about Q-Word from RWAP Software and Just Words! (where I am involved too at least). Preliminary specs: - A. Graphics 1. 16 bit colour on Qx0 and QPC 2 (Modes 33 and 32) 2. 256 colours on Auroras (Mode 256) 3. Mode 8 on Regular QLs 4. Mode 12 on Thor XVIs (preliminary and may not be implemented - If someone wants this feature, please contact either me or Rich Mellor) 5. 64 or 256 colours on QDOS Classic Amiga and UAE QDOS Classic (Thanks to info from Simon Goodwin... the man is a wealth of info plain and simple! That may take some time however) B. Sound 1. SSS for FX (Thanks to MS and SG) on Qx0s and QDOS Classic Amiga (QPC2 too when the feature is implemented) 2. Music via QL General Midi driver support (Currently only using QL-Net to MIDI adapter, however pending an email from Al Boehm support for serial to MIDI adapter may even be possible) (Thanks to NESQLUG and Simon Goodwin, yes him again :-) 3. Music on QPC2 via the CD (as a separate track) Progress Report: 1. All Graphics are completed 2. Music is almost done 3. Sounds are already digitized and edited, only sox is needed to transfer them to ub format 4. The main core of the program is already done by Rich and Geoff (a while ago too... it's my fault of course that graphics weren't completed until now :-) If anyone wants to see screenshots of how Q-Word will look like, please drop me a line and I will send you GIF or JPG files That's all for now, Phoebus
