[ql-users] Another MIllenium style bug

2001-07-05 Thread Tony Firshman
Is the QL GCC going to be hit in 2038 or so by the 32bit limit in the std C time function. Are there any plans for a 64bit time function? Well this is positive forward planning. I will only be 94 then, and Dave Walker will be younger (8-)# -- QBBS (QL fido BBS 2:257/67) +44(0)1442-

Since I've got my Q40 and my GoldCard QL sitting next to each other, I can quickly run some tests on what works and does not work between the two. Can you give a short example that I can quickly compile on both systems? I think my Qlib is like yours, 3.32, which I think is the latest (and ha

Has anyone successfully used QLIB externals with SMSQ/E? I have been trying to but the patches supplied with SMSQ/E reject my version of QLIB_OBJ as unrecognised. My version of QLIB_OBJ is 3.32. Do I need to get the latest version or does this just not work at all? I managed to get the procs/f
