[Ql-Users] BMP program update

2017-02-20 Thread Dilwyn Jones
Bob Spelten Jr. has updated my BMP graphics viewer. Bob has extended the range of BMP file types which can be converted (most types from 24-bit to 1-bit), while conversions from QL graphics to BMP can now be done as either 24-bit or 16-bit files. Saving to a DOS or NFA named device will repla

uQLx 2017 A newly revised version of the Linux QL emulator uQLx (uQLx 2017) is now available. Graeme Gregory has "brutalised" (as he puts it on github) the sources to bring them up to date. New binaries are available for 32- and 64-bit x86 systems, as well as ARM (6/7/8). Includes binaries r

I have only sniffed at WXQT2 but ran into problems. It doesn't let me choose a DOS directory. It does that to me too if I try to select from a file selection menu. But if I manually type in the DOS (well, Windows) directory in the Options window it seems to work. Dilwyn ___

during Q68 development, I'm using Jonathan Hudson's WXQT2 to access QXL.WIN container files under Linux/Windows. I experienced problems when writing "large" container files over 8 or 16 MB. Is this a known problem? Are there alternatives to WXQT2, i.e. other graphical frontends to exchange files
