Hi all,
OK, I've found why prowess didn't boot correctly in SMSQmulator.
And I have a question for those using SMSQmulator.
First things first. As Marcel said, it was something to do with the
device drivers, but not as I expected:
Actually, the prowess laoder is pretty sneaky.

YES! :-)
And now the question : the very easy way around this is to call the QXL
device QXL no longer, but just WIN right away.
YES, go for WIN! ;-)
This then also means that the command QXL_USE should be renamed to WIN_USE
and the Java Menu/Config
Is there anybody who'd object to the device being called WIN right away?

No objection, but please keep the various xxx_USE keywords so that names can
still be changed, e.g. I like to call the NFA device DOS just because that's
like QPC!

What the prowess loader does is the following : it opens the startup

Once that file is open, the loader then uses that for a special trap#3

Hi,
Wait a minute!
When I tried SMSQmulator I created a QXL.win under QPC and linked that
to SMSQ/M.
But the file on de hard drive is then not necessarily called QXL.WIN.
Also the label name for the winN_ in QPAC2 is not always winN_ in my case.
So does this renaming in any way affect easy
Hi,
I was curious why this was the case, so I had a look at the source
code. The loader opens the configuration file and tries to get the
file path from the open handle. Unfortunately this was never something
QDOS properly supported, getting the name of an open handle...
I wonder why it

stuck.
Is there anybody who'd
