Re: [Ql-Users] More Help Please

2016-06-16 Thread Michael Bulford 
Hi Peter,

I believe I may have had the same problem myself.  Let me explain.  I use QPC2 
regularly, and have an elaborate boot file, which gets occasionally modified.  
Some time ago, I made some changes, and saved the boot file.  The very next 
time I started QPC2, it crashed, and was totally unusable.  What I then needed 
to do to recover the situation was to re edit my boot file to reverse the 
changes.  But how could I do this, when every time I started QPC2, it crashed.  
That was the problem.

If this is the problem you are having, there is a way around this.  On QPC2s 
front panel, select the devices button, which is at the bottom left corner.  
Under Boot options, there is the choice of selecting either from floppy disk, 
if one is loaded, or choosing a win directory, in which to look for a boot 
file.  There is a choice of eight of them.  And even if all that fails, you 
could always blank out the win1_ entry under Win/Dos connections.  Once QPC2 
starts, you then have access to everything, and can sort out all your files 
from everywhere.


I hope that helps.


Kind regards,
Michael

Tobias,

Thank you for coming back to me. I did not know that attachments did 
not go through so apologies.


What I have managed to do is find a much better boot file which solve 
all my problems provided that I can get it into QPC2 which is not 
working at the moment and without a floppy drive available.


Have you any ideas?

TIA & Regards,

Peter

I assume you are talking about an attachment you were adding to your
post - Note the list does _not_ forward attachments, so we cannot see
it.

I am a bit at loss why you would want to explicitely want to load
SMSQE.BIN (or SMSQR, which could well be a re-configured one) in your
boot. QPC2 loads SMSQ/E without being asked for it, after all it's 
the
only OS it has and that must be already running before BOOT time . 
You

do not need that and it seems to be a sign of very responsible
programming by the original authors that this used to work at all.

What IPCEXTUK is supposed to do escapes me as well - I'm afraid we'd
need the BOOT embedded as text into an e-mail to further look into
this.

Regards,
Tobias

Hi there,

In an effort to change a few things in my boot file in QPC2, I have
run into a very large
number of problems.

Firstly I have SMSQR dated 2003 and 65K bytes. My boot file working
perfectly well until
I disturbed it. SMSQE  was in the boot file but now it does not find
either SMSQE or
SMSQR. I have REMarked it out at the moment. Will this give me any 
problems?


In addition, I have been having problems with IPCEXTUK which is in
line 180. The calls
are in line 200 and are shewn in the screen shot to have the wrong 
parameters.


These parameters did work but what please should I do next?

TIA & Regards,

Peter

p.s. I have a nasty feeling that these problems may well continue but
I will have to try
and deal with them one at a time.

Hi Wolfgang,

Thank you for coming back to me. I did have an idea that they were Tony 
Firshman but could not remember quite what.


In my efforts to find a copy of my boot file, I have been digging round 
and found a much better boot file but how to get it into QPC2 when it is 
not working, I do not know.


Have you any ideas?

TIA & Regards,

Peter

Peter,

I assume you are talking about an attachment you were adding to your post - 
Note the list does _not_ forward attachments, so we cannot see it.

I am a bit at loss why you would want to explicitely want to load SMSQE.BIN (or 
SMSQR, which could well be a re-configured one) in your boot. QPC2 loads SMSQ/E 
without being asked for it, after all it's the only OS it has and that must be 
already running before BOOT time . You do not need that and it seems to be a 
sign of very responsible programming by the original authors that this used to 
work at all.

What IPCEXTUK is supposed to do escapes me as well - I'm afraid we'd need the 
BOOT embedded as text into an e-mail to further look into this.

Regards,
Tobias
