Hi,
Would it be possible to add in a code letter in TK_VER$ for each version
of Turbo Toolkit, i.e.
TK_VER$ for SMS, 3.40s

Lee,
there are a number of toolkits that allow you to check for specific other
toolkit commands loaded or not - But this is a bit useless as it leaves you
with a chicken-and-egg problem: How to check whether the checking toolkit is
loaded?
Your best bet on SMSQ/E would be a WHEN ERRor clause you place just in front of
a Toolkit command you are about to execute:
1000 TurboTkLoaded = 1
1010 WHEN ERRor
1020 TurboTkLoaded = 0
1030 END WHEN
1040 REMark Execute a Toolkit command
1050 MANIFEST : x = 100
1055 REMark de-activate error checker
1060 WHEN ERRor
1070 END WHEN
1080 PRINT "Turbo Toolkit loaded:"!TurboTkLoaded
On a QL with non-working WHEN ERRor commands (pre-MG) you are a bit doomed, the
only thing I could probably come up with is writing a BASIC program that PEEKs
the name list, which is not quite so simple.

I originally posted this on the forum:
Hi community, I have searched for this on the forum but cannot find an
entry but I am sure this has been asked before.
I currently test for the presence of the HBA ROM in a boot program using
VER$ and would like to test for other toolkits, specifically the TURBO
toolkit. Is there a way to do this automatically in a boot so that when
subsequent runs of the boot it is not loaded again in one session?
e.g. for the HBA version I use:
Code: Select all <http://qlforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2063#>
IF VER$<>"HBA" THEN
LRESPR "WIN8_SMSQ_QEM"
END IF
I feel there must be a way to test for TURBO toolkit, any ideas?
A reply from Derek suggested the following:
There is a keyword: TK_VER$, but only returns the version of Turbo Toolkit,
which is the same for the SMS and QDOS versions.
A simple way would be to add "SMS" in the version number. Which would mean
a new version of Turbo Toolkit.
The SMS version calls the SMSQ/E extended traps, where the QDOS does not,
so maybe a test for SMSQ/E extended traps is the way, but I would favour
the about alteration to TK_VER$.
George Gwilt used to maintain Turbo and maybe the Toolkit. I think this
message needs to be posted in the QL-USERS mailing list, George Gwilt reads
that list.
Any views at all?
