Re: [ql-users] get back on topic
Thanks Roy. The next time we argue will be the first. I was tempted and I fell. John.

You have taken part in the past, but not this time. Why then are you complaining. To be honest it was not really a complaint more of a joke on the nature of 'full stop' but most of this lengthy discussion, with the exception of entries like Lau's, was hardly mental gymnastics but mostly and exercise in pedantry. I didn't take part because I found it mostly boring. Language evolves. Rules change. The language used by Chaucer was different from that of Shakespeare by a vast degree which was the more correct? It shifts like sand. The rules that we use today owe more to a repressive education system trying hard to glue sand during the end of the 19th and early 20th Century. Go back to an earlier time and no one was fretting about where the apostrophe goes. (In this instance mostly up some people's semi-colon.) What of Joyce and Ulysses? What of Flan O'Brien and 'At Swim Two Birds'? What of Brian Aldiss and 'Barefoot in the Head'? What about the whole host of artistic, creative and inventive geniuses who bent and screwed language with no thought for any of this? Anyhow there you are. I was bored. I made a joke - you didn't get it. No problem. I get just as bored sometimes when people get deeply technical and I often make silly, puerile, jokes then too. Don't turn this into another argument because I am not playing. -- Roy Wood Q Branch. 20 Locks Hill, Portslade, Sussex.BN41 2LB Tel: +44 (0) 1273 386030fax: +44 (0) 1273 430501 skype : royqbranch web : www.qbranch.demon.co.uk ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

BTW there is still time to subscribe to QL Today to get the gripping account of the Hove Show, Best Wishes, Geoff PS Those of you who are members of Quanta will notice that the last QL Today advert was months out of date. This was a mistake by Quanta and not Roy who prepares the advert. He had sent a new one, and received an acknowledgement, but Quanta still used the old one. ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

Sorry to use the list to convey this private message. For some reason emails to Jochen are bouncing back, in my case with messages that I am on a database as a spammer. I have replied to your email about Quanta with a copy to Roy. Perhaps Roy could forward this, Best Wishes, Geoff ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

He he, that email was mainly because I wanted to lob a custard pie into the works as I was getting a bit tired of discussing grandma, err, sorry, grammar. Someone did suggest we change the subject anyway.

[ql-users] easyptr
With kind thanks to Marcel, I've been using a beta-release of the 68020 QPC2. Extremely stable for a first release! I seem to have run into a minor problem with Easyptr 4 which I cannot pin down enough to trouble Marcel with a definite bug report as yet, so I need ot ask for help in tracking down a problem. After altering some menus (usually changing objects in loose items or resizing some objects) I seem to end up with out of memory errors at the MDRAW statements when I run the basic program. But find it hard to duplicate the error reliably. Anyone else had this problem? It seems to go away if I reload the menu and save it back out again a second time from Easyptr. If anyone can replicate this error, please let me know so I can try to send Marcel a meaningful message about it. I'm using Easymenu 4.09E and QPC2 3.33 - unfortunately I haven't kept older copies of QPC2 to see if this is exclusive to this version. I do have the 68010 version alongside the 68020 version but so far I've only run into the problem randomly on the 68020 version and don't know if it's specific to that version or if the proiblem exists on other versions too. -- Dilwyn Jones -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Actually I thought you got off rather lightly. The Senior Statesman was meant seriously and was a compliment. The other title took me a good half hour's research in Chesterfield Library. He he, glad I managed to make you waste half and hour! I still don't understand the caption about 'hanging two dwarves' - could one of you enlighten me? Absolutely no offence taken of course, and I did have advance warning I'd be the subject of a cartoon! A little ironic I should be on the receiving end after doing so many of the cartoons myself over the years :-) I was more worried about upsetting others.

If you really want lessons in how to lose QL friends, look in Toady Vol 1 Issue 5 What Certain People Get Up At Shows (which was actually a typo since it should of course have been up to at shows) - I seem to remember you and Roy copped it in that article too.
