No, you don't ned smsqe to compile smsqe.
True, you need a dev device - but look no firther than Phil Borman's SUB
device, which you can use for that.
It's on Dilwyn's website somewhere.

The current situation regarding QMAC and QLINKER is that we still have to

With the second screen enabled on Minerva, the System Variables are
moved from $28000 to $3 or higher. But since there is a QDOS Trap:
MT.INF to locate the System Variables then it should not be a problem.

You should disable all interrupts to avoid QDOS writing on the second

If you run your demo always on the same type of system (e.g. plain QL) you
should be able to adjust timing in your code.
If you allow interrupts, even if you remove all ot

Dave,
Im using ZM/hT and specifying the path where it should find the z80
snapshots, hence the reference to 48k_ and 128K_ . sadly, when I
specify pth1_ it would appear that ZM/hT only looks at the first
directory of pth1_ and not the others.
Not a problem, just a bit of a shame.

As I understand it the PTH device intercepts OPEN calls for files so finds
them in all the given locations. In the case of the DIR command it
successfully opens the first item in the path, so does not look any further.
As mentioned you need to be careful when
I see, so even though pth1_ seems to be a list of
separate directories, it doesn't fully work like that, therefore
if an application asks for where to look for it's data, you can't just
use pth1_
expecting the application to see all the data even if you've setup
pth1_ to point to all the places wh

It may not be set up on your machine as it is not a standard part of QDOS.
However it should be easy enough to find it available for download. On my

And then directories added using statements
