Re: [ql-users] QDT 1.01b release at QL is 21
Glad to see development is continuing. Just for good measure, the first release of Launchpad v2 should be there too! WMAN2 support (colour themes etc) and several new features. My wife and I will be staying there friday night too, so no doubt we'll meet some of you at the Ibis hotel. -- Dilwyn Jones - Original Message - From: James Hunkins [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 27, 2005 7:54 AM Subject: [ql-users] QDT 1.01b release at QL is 21 Guys, I just released the beta build for 1.01b QDT to my testers tonight for a very quick look.

Re: [ql-users] SMSQE and the Qx0
Ciao Wolfgang, I personally do not care absolutely about the smsq/e Rom version for my Qx0s, i do no see any reason why i should burn eproms all the times i upgrade my q60 smsq version , also because smsqe load perfectly into q60 ram in one second. I also vote for the Home extension included in official smsqe. Ciao to all Fabrizio - Messaggio originale - Da: Wolfgang Lenerz[EMAIL PROTECTED] Inviato: 31/10/05 19.55.14 A: [EMAIL PROTECTED][EMAIL PROTECTED] Oggetto: Re: [ql-users] SMSQE and the Qx0 Hi all, This is more for the SMSQE.users amongst us, which use it on a Q40/60 . The current version of SMSQE for the Qx0 is about 250 KB long. It was suggested to me that the home thing should be incorporated into SMSQE, which will make SMSQE for the Qx0 about 254 KB long. We are now approaching very closely the 256 KB limit which the current ROMs for the Qx0 can handle. The other versions of SMSQE don't have that problem, since they are always loaded into RAM anyway. I'm told that it might be possible to use larger Eproms on the Qx0 for this, to give us 512 KB of ROM space, which should be enough for the foreseeable future. I have already tried to source these Eproms here in France, but have been unable to find any suitable Eproms (!). Of course we could probably take some languages out and make them into independent LRESPR files, thus making SMSQE smaller for the time being, but that is just a stopgap measure - soon we will face this limit again. I personally am not really bothered by this since I generally load SMSQE into RAM even on a Q60. So I would like the resellers, notably, but also the Qx0 users, to tell me whether there are really users out there that will ask for upgraded ROMs for their Qx0. If yes, how many? If it turns out that larger Eproms cannot be built into the Qx0, where do they suggest that we go from here? Would they be content with the upgrades to be put into RAM?

The really silly thing is that they do have broadband, so providing wifi, even if only in the downstairs area, is trivial and cheap.

Re: [ql-users] SMSQE and the Qx0
Hi, I also find that it is easiest to load the latest version of smsqe to ram from a file. I think it is more useful to have an older version of smsqe in the rom - that is the version that came with it for the rare occassion when backwards compatibility is needed.

Re: [ql-users] SMSQE and the Qx0
I am also not bothered by having to load smsqe from disk. I have always loaded later versions of smsqe from harddisk after having assembled them from the sources. I do not think there will much of a demand for eproms anyway. Adding extra features to SMSQE in the long run will enlarge the size of the SMSQE image and if poeple do not need them they colud be configged out using config blocks. By the way I have tried to use the home thing extensions with Turbo Compiled programs usin the latest v5.01 of the compiler and unless I have done something wrong I keep geeting the error adjust Dataspace please. - David Gilham - The universe is a queer place --- Wolfgang Lenerz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: Wolfgang Lenerz [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon, 31 Oct 2005 19:55:14 +0100 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [ql-users] SMSQE and the Qx0 Hi all, This is more for the SMSQE.users amongst us, which use it on a Q40/60 .
