Hi all,

SMSQE 3.38 is out now.

As usual, you can get it atwww.wlenerz.com/smsqe/.

The main news here is that, thanks to Alain Haoui's work,  WMAN can now
draw real subwindow indices.

The ways this is done is explained in the QPTR manual, the new version
of which can be found at my QL stuff sitewww.wlenerz.com/qlstuff.

There you can find the QPTR manual (in the documentation section), and
also the new QPTR bin file itself, which also implements index drawing
(in the programming section) as well as two demo/test programs (one for
Basic, made by Alain. Haoui, and one for assembler).


Have fun!

Re: [Ql-Users] Memory cards and the Q60 (was Re: SMSQE 3.36)

[Ralf Reköndt via Ql-Users]

A simple bootstrap loader would do the trick, right? Why a complete

it one of my TT disks (for Atari).

You need some kind of ROM to boot the machine and load the OS. This 
can be a separate loader, like inside the Q68, but then it needs to 
access mass storage to load the OS. In case of the Q40 and Q60, the OS 
can boot completely without any mass storage, which is faster.

SMSQ/E never executes from EPROM, it is always copied to RAM first. So
any problem with the EPROM would certainly result in an instant crash.
But once it boots the EPROM is not used again anyway.

I just coded a (very quick) and (totally) dirty 5s delay loop in the

as being ready on the IDE port(s). This won't need any parameter, but
perhaps a disabling flag in the SMSQ/E config block, for people not
using any HD (or IDE drive) and booting only from floppy (disabling
that feature would allow for faster boot on floppy).

I'll put this into the next version. Should the check be made on all 4
possible disks, or only on the one in target 0?

I doubt there are many systems with the boot drive on another target
than 0... So, unless someone speaks against it now, I suggest you go
the easy route. :-D


Well I am curious to know what you did, can be this module published ?

Patch attached. I already reported the issue and transmitted the patch
to Wolfgang as well, a few months ago. I suppose I'm the only person
affected (with perhaps the only known configuration regrouping a low
spinning drive and a fast (overclocked) Q60)...

Unless I'm mistaken, nobody else raised that with me.

I must have mislaid your previous fix, could you send it to me again?

It is attached to the message you just replied now... I also sent it in
my personal email to you, dated Mon, 7 Jan 2019 13:49:28 +0100, with
subject "Re: QXL.WIN sur carte SDHC".

Attaching the "quick and dirty" patch again to this message. But as I
wrote, it's in no way a proper fix (it simply introduces a 5s delay,
which happens to be needed and to suffice for my overclocked Q60 and
my brand/model of HD).

Classic Adventures

John Jones-Steele, who ran Abersoft in the 1980s, has given permission for the 
Classic Adventures package to be released as freeware.

The package includes two text adventure games, "The Adventure" and "Mordon's 
Quest". The first is based on the famous adventure game by Crowther and Woods, 
the first of its kind, while the second is a loosely- related but original 
sequel. Both should run on an unexpanded QL and are configured to run from 
MDV1. Use up and down cursor keys in the boot program to select which adventure 
you want or the clone program, then press SPACE to start the option selected.

No manual so I have added a short review from QL World magazine plus a couple 
of screen dumps.

It's available to download from my site's Adventure Games page at 
http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/games/adventures/index.html

If anyone is familiar with the process, it could probably do with

I have converted the files to mp4 with Handbrake (it'll do .avi as 
well I think), though I haven't looked at whether it'll reduce the 
resolution to make smaller video files for those who wish to view on 
mobile for example. Seems pointless uploading those at the moment as 
they're almost as large as what's on the DVD, but if there is interest 
in having lower resolution copies online I'll see what I can do. 
Although Darren gave permission for me to put it online, I'd suggest 
out of courtesy that if you wish to put it on You-Tube for example 
that you ask Darren first.


I chose to upload the .iso image of the DVD as it includes some QL 
software on the DVD too which would be lost if it was made into just 
10 chapters of video files.


Perhaps if you do re-host I could include the URL on my page as an

confess I don't know from memory what my monthly bandwidth is!
