 A kind suggestion, but unfortunately it does not help. Supercharge had its
 own extensions rather like the Turbo Toolkit, but when you attempt to load
 these you get an error message not found. Strange but if you then type
 CONTINUE, the program appears to work, but you cannot load, save or print.

 The person concerned is a black box user who has made the effort to 
 upgrade
 to QPC2 so you make the extra effort to try to help him,

How about making the program and toolkit available somewhere so we could 
take a look at it? Id be willing to have a go, and so may others.

Thanks to all of you for your offers of help. I may come back to you at a 
later stage. I think the best way of helping the person is to steer him 
towards other more modern programs. The big problem is whether I can convert 
his files into a readable form for other programs. In theory I think this is 
possible, but until I get a few sample files to try I can't be sure in 
practice.

Also at this stage I am not sure of the extent of his QL and PC knowledge, 
but I can enquire into this when I have seen if the above is possible,

Best Wishes,

Geoff Wicks

I have been a bit negligent in keeping my Turbo downloads page up to 
date. I have now downloaded the latest versions from 
www.jms1.supanet.com (John M Sadler's site, don't confuse with a 
certain German trader) where you can always be sure of getting the 
latest versions, I will add these to my page tomorrow night hopefully.

 My boot file for QPC2 has :

 LRESPR windrive$  '_turbo_sms_bin'

 included in it.

 This is the Turbo Toolkit maintained by Dave Gilham, and is the 
 sms
 version, as QPC2 runs on SMSQ/E.

 My version is 3b33.

 I assume that this is available for free download on Dilwyn's web
 site,
 for example.

 The latest version of Turbo Toolkit is 3.37. This is available on
 the SQLUG website www.jms1.supanet.com

Re: [ql-users] Software versions was Sedit 2.26

2006-02-22 Thread Dilwyn Jones
 My updated 'keywords list' have more than 3.500 entries now, but I
 don't yhink it is still worth while publishing.

My current 'keywords list' has about 3590 entries. If someone out
there is interested just let me know.
If anyone like you has lists of keywords which exceed those on my 
website, please let me have a copy to keep the list up to date.

[ql-users] Abacus to HTML

2006-02-22 Thread Dilwyn Jones
I need to convert an Abacus spreadsheet into HTML, preferably as a 
table or monospaced HTML text.

Anyone know if there is a program to do this - I seem to remember that 
there is, in fact I'm pretty certain there is  (it's probably on my 
website or PD CD even!) but I'm blowed if I can remember who did it or 
what it was called!

I suppose if I exported the Abacus spreadsheet to Quill to get text in 
columns, then added a basic HTML header/body with a monospace text 
command that would do.

Basically, what I'm up to is following John Gilpin's lead, I've put a 
list of the programs I've written with version numbers, release dates, 
requirements (PE, TK2, etc) into a spreadsheet which I'd like to put 
online with an option to view it online (hence the HTML) or to 
download as an Abacus or zipped Abacus file.

I can probably write a basic program to add the necessary HTML to the 
exported spreadsheet, but if anyone has already done something similar 
it'll save me reinventing the wheel!

Hi Dilwyn,
You could try 'DBF2HTM' (Per Witte website) which converts Archive 
DBF-files to HTLM tables.
Export your ABACUS file, import it in ARCHIVE and use DBF2HTM

The subject cropped some months ago, Malcom Cadman I think.
May/05 - quote.

Then there are the compatibility issues with older software running on 
newer hardware or emulators.

What do people want to see happen ?

Malcolm Cadman

My suggestion:-

save below as a csv
Software,Ver nnn,HARDWARE - OS,,
,,QL128,Cumana,CST,Medic,GoldCard,SupGoldCd,Qubide,Q40,Q60 
,Qlay,Qlay2k,QPC,QPC2,Qlem,uQLx
Utilities

TK2_ext
PtrGen
WMAN
RAMPRT
XTRAS
etc

Progs

Quill
Abacus
Editor
etc

A csv file is the most easyly used format.

The same thought comes to mind when thinking of all those KEYWORDs.
I thought my 400 was enough (12 years ago).

Needed would be columns for :-
Keyword
Toolkit or Programme source
Purpose
Example usage, syntax.
