I'm curious, what kind of modifications? Dimensioning of strings?
I've read the readme of v4c21 and it sounds pretty promising. What
grade of compatibility do you think you'll be able to achieve?
EasyPtr has sometimes a very powerful but also very complex syntax,
e.g.
{} = alternative
[] = optional
MAWDRAW [#ch%] {,}{;}{\} num[, [array$][, xst%, yst%[, [under%]
[, [xsz%], [ysz%][, [xju%][, [yju%]]]
MAWDRAW #3,1,array$,0,0,,,16
but I think it only passes back simple integers or integer arrays in
its parameters (with MINPUT being the only exception, it alters a
given string using SB.PUTP). Could Turbo manage all this stuff?

It sounds very promising! It must also be a major achievement as, IIUC,
Turbo gains some of its speed advantage by not mimicking certain SuperBasic
interpreter structures. Are these structures now being emulated by Turbo?
And without a significant speed penalty?

All EasyPtr keywords can return an error code in the channel parameter,
provided it is supplied as an integer, ie #ch%. However, it gets more
complicated: You can set EasyPtr up so that instead of a channel number you
pass a pointer to the working definition. A designated variable then gets
any error code instead!
100 adr = MWDEF(#ch%)
110 REPeat loop
120 ch% = 0
130 action = MCALL(#adr)
140 if ch% 0: PRINT 'Error during MCALL:'! ch%: EXIT loop
...
Luckily, both these behaviours are optional. Their main use is for aiding
program development. Turbo should now be able to handle the first scenario
in any case. But it probably doesnt handle the second?
The main stumbling block was that Turbo couldnt handle arrays being passed
as parameters. With this considerable inconvenience overcome, a major
disincentive to use Turbo has been removed.

[ql-users] Hove Show and AGM
I sent out the snailshot for the Hove Show yesterday and when I was preparing it I realised that Hove has the potential to be one of the best UK shows for some time. The big theme of the show is software. All software traders have something new to offer or demonstrate, although in my case it is only a couple of GD2 upgrades. Jochen and Roy will be able to sell or demonstrate QDT, QPC Print and the upgraded EasyPtr. If anyone still hasn't seen it, I can demonstrate QWord. Even Quanta has not been left out. Dilwyn has recently given permission for Quanta to distribute his CD range and these will be available on the Quanta stall at cost price. Also - breaking news - I think you will find the Quanta Library CD has been drastically reduced in price. Visitors to the show include Marcel Kilgus and Bernd Reinhardt. At the show we shall have details of the 2 day QL is 21 show to be held at Portsmouth in October. There will be an informal meeting to discuss what you would like to see at that show. Even the Quanta AGM could be interesting this year. And Roy has assured me the catering will be of the usual high standard. Hove is not to be missed!
