Re: [Ql-Users] QPC - XP
Thanks, Doug L. 37830 USA Hi Doug, I've attached the original QL basic program listing (HANOI) and a zipped copy in case the original basic program doesn't survive email. The zipped copy should survive whatever damage this PC can do! Also, if you look on my QL website, in the games section at http://www.dilwyn.uk6.net/games/index.html there's a couple of Towers Of Hanoi games there too. Apologies, I thought this was a private email so in my haste I just hit Reply and inadvertently sent the reply to th emailing list. Have contacted him privately with the file. -- Dilwyn Jones ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
Re: [Ql-Users] QPC - XP
Dilwyn, Odd, the only thing I can find is a URL for smsqe , no reference to anything else, rather than a Tower of Hanoi (I do want Mr. Kennedy's version, even if with others. I can make a whole Towwer of Hanoi folder). Am I missing something (not unlikely)? Thanks, Doug 37830 USA I emailed John about [re]joining QUANTA. -Original Message- From: Dilwyn Jones dil...@evans1511.fsnet.co.uk Sent: Mar 20, 2009 7:44 AM To: ql-us...@q-v-d.com Subject: Re: [Ql-Users] QPC - XP Dilwyn, John (Gilpin) said the following: Hi Doug, Regarding your query about The Towers of Hanoi game, it is still in the QUANTA Library on disc GG01 and is credited to P Kennedy on 22/08/1987 Contact Dilwyn Jones (QUANTA Librarian) who will be able to advise you the best way to get a copy. Also QUANTA Magazine had a similar program from Steve Poole in Volume 23, ... At the moment I am after the Kennedy original; I have a feeling the similar program from 2006 is quite different (although I will try it in the QPCxx I _do_ have). Can you indeed show me how to get a copy? I have a feelling the GG01 I do have by now will be bad medium or it's one of the ones I've formatted. Thanks, Doug L. 37830 USA Hi Doug, Please find attached the hanoi program by P Kennedy from Quanta Library disc GG01.

Quanta members will be getting an up to date copy of the Library Guide disc with their next newsletters in a few weeks, so finding library programs like this should be easier for members. Normally as Quanta Librarian I'd ask you to send me a disk for the program and return postage, but for one small program like this to USA it just seemed a lot easier to send by email. I am assuming of course that you are still a member of Quanta - I take it that you are since John Gilpin is membership secretary and wouldn't have suggested this if you weren't. It's so nice to hear from our QL friends over there again! -- Dilwyn Jones -- Dilwyn Jones ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

Re: [Ql-Users] QPC - XP
Hi Doug, http://smsq.j-m-s.com/ gives all the details. One click, and you can download a demo to try on your hardware as well.

The most recent QLT I could find did not even have an ad from any trader that mentioned QPC. I have a close family member and old QLer confined to a skilled nursing facility and going stir crazy who would benefit from something to do. In this case it would be working on an old QL program/game which I will try to obtain through a separate post. The best equipment I can do is a Macintel that came with XP installed as a VM (beside OS X, yes). The program/game would go back to the QL community of course. Here are some details of what may need to be considered: Now: Intel (specifically Macintel/MacBook Pro 15), with XP (I believe Pro SP2 or some such). Dual core, 2.4GHz. XP: VM under Parallels although supposedly that doesn't matter. Only other: W98SE, QPC II I believe, but--it's a desktop, else I'd take it the dozen miles to the skilled facility now. I have not been able to get any response from the admin automaton of this list on the list commands for detecting or searching archives, so, I have to throw myself on the mercy of list members. This is despite having been mailing list admin at work for a number of years.

Re: [Ql-Users] QPC - XP
Can I get the details, including price and payment methods, on a QPCxx known to run under XP? The most recent QLT I could find did not even have an ad from any trader that mentioned QPC. Two possible sources (all recent versionsof QPC2 such as v3.34 beta 3 I use) should work on XP machines. 1. From Jochen Merz: http://smsq.j-m-s.com 2.
