It did *not* enable Text87 to run under SMSQ on my Q60, and I reported the fact in QUANTA. Ah, I was not aware that there is any problem with it. What are the symptoms? Is there is anyone out there who actually has Text87 running under SMSQ on a Q60 (Q40+SMSQ or Q60+QDOS are OK), as opposed to merely thinking that it ought to? Good question.

Ah, I was not aware that there is any problem with it. What are the symptoms? After all this time I can barely remember! I think when I started Text87 I got a quick flash of the black screen and then the program terminated itself. It was quite happy on the Q60 with QDOS and I know people run it with SMSQ on the Q40. Since I no longer have a copy of Text87, I can't say any more. ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

Dark grey like so many computer gadgets. Can't find it anywhere in the car. It was plugged into the wall that was behind Tony's and Bill's tables. Don't remember if it got moved elsewhere after the show ended.

Re: [ql-users] Scale
Rich writes: Given that by default the top edge of the window is 100 in the graphics coordinate system, how do I find out what the right hand edge coordinate is, based on the size of the window? Is this the same across platforms? The figures I get dont appear to make sense! OK Per, if you want the real answer on how to do this on QPC2 etc, I will let you know how Q-Route does it (now here is a secret) - I rewrote BASIC versions of all the graphics commands I needed to allow access to them using the absolute co-ordinate system: The following takes absolute co-ordinates and converts them to the current graphics co-ordinate system: 2000 WINDOW #2,512,256,0,0 2010 graf_scale=100:SCALE #2,graf_scale,0,0 2020 window_x%=0:window_y%=0:window_h%=256:window_w%=256 2024 wind_scalex=(1/window_w%)*(graf_scale*(100/window_h%*window_w%/135.5)) 2028 wind_scaley=(1/window_h%)*graf_scale Now having set it up, we can convert absolute co-ords to graphics co-ords (remembering that one is upside down to the other), 3512 DEFine PROCedure RFLINE(linex1,liney1,linex2,liney2) 3516 LINE #2,linex1*wind_scalex,(window_h%-liney1)*wind_scaley TO linex2*wind_scalex,(window_h%-liney2)*wind_scaley 3520 END DEFine The constant 135.5 is close enough to the constant mentioned in the Reference Manual - it is just a matter of scaling the display to 512x256 Now it seems were getting somewhere ;o) This seems to do the trick in QPC2 at least.
