Re: [ql-users] problem with the new C68 pieces for WMAN

The RELOC_START entry is in the version of the startup module that is used if you are using LD v2 with c68. The RELOC_START is a symbol that is automatically generated by LD v2. Dave - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent:

The precursor to QPC2 :-) It basically ran directly under DOS rather than under Windows (which meant it did not like NT based systems), and did not have many of the extras since introduced in QPC2 (DOS device etc). Dave - Original Message - From: Dave [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL

Tony, That is not true - it is possible to get the complete SP as a single file. The full SP4 for W2K is 129Mb (I know because I have it !). This can then be applied to any flavour of W2K (workstation, server, advanced server). I agree if you are online, you can download a setup program that

The other nasty trick for Windows users is to install the screen saver from www.sysinternals.com that realistically simulates your system crashing and rebooting! I have seen users hit the reset button before they realised that simply pressing a key or moving the mouse would get rid of it. Dave

2) Internal coercion within the package, eg result$ = HP_ADD(fp64$, fp80$) or even result$ = HP_ADD(int64$, qdosfp) This would probably be the way to go. Less likely to get user error that way. As the strings would be opaque data from the programmers perspective it would be easy to

If there really is a need for these extra precision routines to be available from SB, then maybe it would be worth writing SB wrappers for the maths support routines used by c68? These include support for IEEE 32,64 and 80 bit, and also for 64 bit integers with add/subtract/multiply/divide

I think the Motorola specification states left to right except as modified by brackets. In other words multiplication/division does not get priority over addition/subtraction unless you use brackets. Dave - Original Message - From: Norman Dunbar [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Bill, Do you really want a 2.5Gb WIN partition bearing in mind the value after the device is the size in Mbytes? Have you actually checked you have tht much free space on the hard disk that you are trying to set up the WIN device on? No - the WIN files do not expand on use. The format command

What is needed is some way to load toolkits locally to a particular instance of SBasic rather than as system wide global settings. As to whether anyone could think of a way to enhance SBasic to achieve this is another matter. Dave - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL

Ken, I should have a ST520 + Colour Monitor + Mono Monitors to give away at Byfleet. My brother was clearing his loft and was about to throw them away and I thought it seemed better to try and find someone who wanted it first. All I have to do is get around to collecting them from him! Dave
