I've used QLink 1.03 for years on many many projects including SMSQ/E without any problems. You need to supply the FILETYPE option on the command line or linker file if you want the result to be executable. Marcel ___ QL-Users Mailing List

I've last had contact with him in the year 2000, but the adress is not valid anymore (I guess he let it lapse and some domain hoarder picked it up as the current one was registered in 2003). According to a 2013 freedom of information request he's still registered with this address as a dentist with the Department of Health https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/gp_and_dental_practices_2 I found an eMail adress for the practice, but I didn't try contacting it. In the meantime I've disassembled QMac into a state where it can be altered without messing up any pointers and data structures. Cheers, Marcel ___ QL-Users Mailing List

The symbol table dump in the _MAP file looks strange and the generated binary output file is not executable. I tested with v1.01 (from Dilwyn's archive) and v1.03 from QLE 3.18.

From memory I've met Phil at one of the QUANTA workshops in the early 1990s. QL/E has QMAC and QLINK latest versions installed and ready to use (e.g. to compile SMSQ/E or Minerva). I did quite some research in the first decade of the 2000s, resulting in the release of the GST QL software archive in 2010. http://sinclairql.net/GST_QL_SW_is_PD.html Dilwyn re-published most of this on his website. I was trying to find the sources of all the GST software, updated QUANTA editions of QMAC and QLINK in specific. All my tries (through QUANTA, sending emails to all documented addresses of Phil) failed and I stopped seeking exactly 5 years ago. Unfortunately nobody seems to have the (latest) sources. A former GST employee (Martin Dickens) recalled on 2009-10-21: "I seem to remember many years later, and on Jeff's behalf, preparing a copy of the source code and project files for the QL User's Group which spookily turned out to be in the small town in Northamptonshire that I was dragged up in - in a building I'd walked past everyday for 14 years on my way to school. There was a small fee charged which didn't cover the cost of preparing it, in true Jeff 'barrow-boy' fashion. :-)" Phil Borman not only maintained QMAC and QLINK, he wrote many other nice QL software. Saving and sharing the source code would be a great Christmas present to the QL community. There must be anyone here or on qlforum who knows Phil personally, have or find his contact details and can give him a call. Or at least share the contact details. Anyone? I wish you all a nice Advent time and Merry Christmas. All the best to you and your families. QL forever! Urs http://sinclairql.net/about_urs.html ___ QL-Users Mailing List
[Ql-Users] QMac source code
Hi everyone. Does anybody know who has the source code to QMac? The Quanta version doesn't look like simple patches to the GST binary, so I guess somebody must have had it at some point. I'd like to make a few small updates myself. All the best, Marcel ___ QL-Users Mailing List
