You need a terminal program and a modem :-) You can do it with a QL or a  
PC :-)

[ql-users] QL Network link QL -- PC possible?

2004-07-28 Thread Michael Berger 
Hello out there

does any of the existing QL emulators support a QL network link between PC
and QL? - I do not mean by Serial port (as I know QPC2 can do this) but by
the QL network connection - probably to a pair of data/ground pins on the
PC's parallel port?



Regards

Michael

Subject: Re: [ql-users] my all time favourite QL code


 It had datastatements with chrs there that represented values for the
 turtle.
 Unfortunately they used a printer that did not have a QL character set,
 and there were also many unprintable chrs - ie 'blobs'

 It took a lot of trial and error to get the right chrs.  Maybe my BBS
 has the only working version (8-)#

Greetings, Tony!

The Dragon program (Dragon's Portrait by Chris Bower) is actually on the
same page of QL USER journal, June '85 issue, where I found that amazing
recursive tree. However I did not even dare trying to type in the dragon
program, because I gave it no hope to match the strange characters from the
QL's 2nd charset. Must admit my full respect belongs to you if you managed
to figure that out... Probably a lot of the fascination of that picture
comes from seeing how it gets drawn?

Must also admit since I belong to the www generation I have no idea how to
access a BBS. Could you give me a hint how to download dragon.zip?
Looks like I will have to put it on my web site (8-)#

I will do it tomorrow.
