I solved the problem deleting, with Qxlwinreader, config file in the unreadable
file and copying an old config from a backup qxl.win. Now it’s all’ OK.
Thank you very much for your advice. Have a nice night.

I have reproduced the problem with Q-emulator. I get not enough memory
when I try to attach a 1 GB QXL.win file. I set the QL to as much memory
as I can and I still get the error. With an 800 MB QXL.win file, it
attaches just fine.
I'm thinking that 1 GB is hitting some boundary, meaning
Does anyone know if there is a limit on qxl.win sizes supported by Q-emuLator?
My QPC2 system has a 1GB qxl.win. QemuLator will not seem to recognise this –
it just says ‘PATH NOT FOUND’ when I try to attach it to a drive slot.
So I tried editing the Default.CFG file to “force” it to find it.
Seems, that QemuLator suffers from a Sandy virus.;-)

I know of no limit (which doesn't mean none exist), but in any case
access to files in huge directories can be somewhat slow as the name

There is a QUANTA Library QXL.WIN file on CD done by Darren Brannah some
years ago that has quite a few folders and files in it. Maybe Darren
made a count of how many, but I don't know personally. Is it a function
of the number of files or is it the total size of the .win file that is
Harking back a bit.
Having followed the thread I am a little puzzled.
If large files are a burden to access time why not use smaller QXL.WINs ?

No Urs, these programs (as far as I know) can only be used with a native QWA

Hi, Norman.
Ok, 0-1-2-3 but when we get to C-D-E-F-$. What's going on
here? Is this sequence telling me that the map groups (of 4 sectors
each) 0 through $F are all linked in a chain belonging to whichever
file has file_id 1 and that block group $10 is the final one in the
file?
Almost
Evening John,
Thanks for yet more explaining. I discovered (!) that if I take the
file_id from the file's entry in the directory and use that to index
into the block map (having subtracted 1 first) I get a 'value' which I
call stragely, the block number.
Multiply that by the number of sectors
