Re: [ql-users] QXL: SMSQ
In message <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Roy wood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes In message <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, David Tubbs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes But it is something that I have to be able to do when required. Progress with wxqt2 is limited, got it up to run, including binding the help pages, sadly it seems to keel over on creating or accessing a QXL.WIN file. My bodge thought above looks the most promising, worked on a small scale trial. Mouse activation not yet achieved, tho' it is present in DOS. Hey Ho, the struggle continues To be honest here QPC2 makes so much more sense. I don't know who said time is money (watchmakers probably) but you can achieve all you want with QPC2 without any other programs being needed. Yes, the simple beauty of a software solution over a hardware solution. Another advantage is the ease of having an emulator of several machines. -- Malcolm Cadman ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.quanta.org.uk/mailing.htm
Re: [ql-users] QL workshop Berchtesgaden 2 Oct 04
It is with great apologies that I have to inform everyone that my aeroplane will be grounded for another month. It is having new engines fitted which have arrived but the fuel injector servos (which meter the fuel depending on the airflow) are the missing bits on which everything waits. So there can be no trip from Biggin Hill to Berchtesgaden this year which is, from my point of view, a great pity but completely outside my control.

When you wrote that I presumed you must have meant to send something ! When I downloaded the utils the link was at the bottom of the window, never saw the additional advices. My invocations, on two machines, keel over when accessing an existing or trying to create a new one. Job just hangs. Am on 56k too, aint it a bugger - but just about to upgrade ! ot sure what the effect will be but I not the files you sent are of an earlier date and smaller than those I just downloaded. But thanks for the bandwidth ! I will give them a try soon. As a matter of interest I think the economical and time-saving approach is to let QXL format a file create a dummy file of sufficient length. In PC mode use a hex editor to overwrite with required data ! In the end, for sure, after using latterday m/c's the poor old thing chugs along pretty slowly, but DOES what I cannot achieve in the MS environment.
