(Mandrake 8.1 would not run.) The colur displays are correct in Mode 4. However the numerical output is not intelligible. The integers and floating points on channel #1 & #2. It looks as though when it displays floating point significant and lower bytes have been interchanged. I have no idea whether the internal processing of the maths routines is correct but I will try some coercion to check it. I have compiled it on an Athlon 500 MHz chip. I do not know whether this is the reason for the problem. I can send you an output of the compilation messages if that is any help. John

Re: [ql-users] UQLX & Mandrake 8.2
Richard Further to my original message, numbers would appear to have their bytes interchanged as you cannot edit a line and re-enter it and if you try to add two numbers which have been put in as strings, coerced to nubers added coerced back to a string it prints out an unintelligable string. Hope this is of help John
Re: [ql-users] UQLX & Mandrake 8.2
Hi, what does gcc -v say? If it is gcc-2.96 use another version. Anything but 2.96 will work. Richard

The QDOS numbers & floating point are not displayed properly. Even the date is unintelligable and the line numbers and channel numbers in the listing of the boot program are unintelligable. Defintely got nothing to do with compiler and probaly big endian for numbers John

Re: [ql-users] UQLX & Mandrake 8.2
Well that is gcc 2.96 & gcc 3.0.4 I have tried. What are you using and what sort of processor? Surely if gcc can cope with floating point the problem is low level access and differences. Though as there are both big endian and little endian if a switch does not work what els? - Original Message - From: "P Witte" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, July 16, 2002 12:24 AM Subject: Re: [ql-users] UQLX & Mandrake 8.2 > > John Sadler writes: > > > > > I have got UQLX to make, install and run with Mandrake 8.2 as well. > > > > (Mandrake 8.1 would not run.) > > > > The colur displays are correct in Mode 4.

I had the same problem with uQLx and several versions of Linux while it compiled normally on FreeBSD and Solaris. Since I think you have an AMD K-7 processor as I do, maybe the problem is really there and not anywhere else. It would seem that something prevents uQLx to compile if an AMD processor is used. Ceteris paribus and only the processor changed to an Intel, Linux compiles it without a hitch... Final analysis On a PC, run FreeBSD... THE ONLY true Unix ;-) (Okay NetBSD and OpenBSD are included ;-) Phoebus

Failed to install FreeBSD on this machine AMD) with it's 40G HD..the partitioner couldn't handle it, whereas Linux's could (well, RH6.0 failed making a total mess of the partition table that even windoze couldn't fix, it took RH6.2 to manage it)...freeBSD is on my 486 which has 1x525M + 1x1.5G HDs. >so far and especially > for my use that requires full localization (Greek fonts/keyboard), > installation is a breeze compared to many distributions of Linux out > there... > Best part is that it came with a 2K + page manual too ;-) > (iiic!) > -Oh and it runs Linux executables as well.- > > And YES runs uQLx on my AMD ;-) > > Phoebu > s
