Re: [ql-users] was... Just an idea for a new Product.....
In message [EMAIL PROTECTED], jms1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes clip Perhaps we may now understand why it is difficult for somebody to try the QL. What can we do to improve compatability so newcomers can try without help? Yes, interesting proposition. We have to take a good look at QDOS, the original OS, and the software for it; and then see what simple or more complicated work is needed to make the bridge with SMSQ and SMSQ/E. From the users point of view. Following on from this all the hardware add-ons and upgrades need to be looked at, and simple explanations of suitable paths to take to maintain or enhance performance. If this can be documented and collated then we can just point users to the signposts laid out, and the user can make their own decisions. Dilwyn Jones already has some quite excellent material on his website that describes the history and development of the QL. Roy Wood has begun a series in QL Today which is describing the where with all of the various set ups and paths that QL development has followed. So in the end some users may choose just to stay with QDOS and get the best benefit from it, others may choose to bridge across between QDOS and SMSQ benefiting from both. Others may choose to be entirely SMSQ/E, and beyond. Whatever ... a commonality will be established. -- Malcolm Cadman ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

Thank you :-) I am glad that it is of some use to users :-) Actually the second part... native hardware etc. is even more exciting. I am actually running Arachne and nettamer on my Q40 under PC Conqueror SE and it is pretty amazing... (Put PCs to work for QLs is ALWAYS fun wouldn't you agree?) No problem ... we all need stimulating articles to read and act upon. Looking forward to then next part ... it does sound amazing ... :-) You tempted me in to doing the downloads of the software ported from UNIX by Jonathan Hudson : QL-Lynx, QL-FTP, QPOP3 and QDOS Emailer. All available at : http://www.daria.co.uk With your instructions, lynx worked first time ! ... and nice to see it making use of the full screen with SMSQ/E and QPC. I thought it was fun too... Plus it gave me an excuse for a plug to Tony's website which I find always very elegant in its simplicity... not to mention that it looks great in QL colours and fonts ;-) (Tony you can send me that cheque in the usual address) He ... he ... obviously I tried my own web site first ... :-) I had previously had it working in an earlier version in a QDOS window of 512x256. The good thing and a testament to Jonathan's port's quality is that it works virtually everywhere :-) Yes, I never doubt anything from Jonathan. I remember having a good chat with him at QL2000, and whilst discussing everything, he never stopped programming and compiling on his portable ... :-) I hope to find time to explore the FTP and email instructions more fully later in the week. Looking forward to the continuation in the next issue too. I note that lynx was written for UNIX by Seung-Hong Oh, in 1996, whom I can assume was a student at the time. That would be fetchpop actually... I am currently working on a different mail client that is not as restricted as fetchpop (Mind you fetchpop is the exact same software -with minor alterations- that is used with soQL). Unfortunately fetchpop has severe limitations... plus it is a real pain in the rear to use, however for the time being is one of two choices ;-) Ah glad to hear of an improvement already. As for lynx, there are newer versions but I haven't had time to explore newest compilations. I know that one or two people have ported more recent versions of lynx to the ql but I am not even sure these support the https: protocol either. I will have to look into it. OK. Just that we may as well be as up to date as possible. He mentions as upgraded version being available in one of the texts, which presumably did get completed, as this is nearly ten years ago. I haven't seen one. I've been working on a completely different one that will be compatible with all major QL internet solutions including qlwIP. Unfortunately work on freeQDOS has a greater priority. As release milestone 1 approaches (freeQDOS can now boot but not do much else on a Q40 and Q60) I will be able to spend more time on that. Umm ... very interesting. One of the things the QL port would benefit from is a nice 'front end' to integrate this as a suite of applications. Also a menu driven way of providing the details of the users system and preferences. Exactly. I believe you will feel more at home therefore with QPOP3 which is graphical. With minor alterations, it can also get the system palette etc. to look up to date compared with modern PE software... Yes exactly ... it is just the convenience of a graphical GUI. Using text editors and changing lines beginning with a # sign, is not everyone's taste I am sure.
