Id be willing to have a go, and so may others. Thanks to all of you for your offers of help. I may come back to you at a later stage. I think the best way of helping the person is to steer him towards other more modern programs. The big problem is whether I can convert his files into a readable form for other programs. In theory I think this is possible, but until I get a few sample files to try I can't be sure in practice. Also at this stage I am not sure of the extent of his QL and PC knowledge, but I can enquire into this when I have seen if the above is possible, Best Wishes, Geoff Wicks ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
Re: [ql-users] Nightmare scenario
I have been a bit negligent in keeping my Turbo downloads page up to date. I have now downloaded the latest versions from www.jms1.supanet.com (John M Sadler's site, don't confuse with a certain German trader) where you can always be sure of getting the latest versions, I will add these to my page tomorrow night hopefully. -- Dilwyn Jones - Original Message - From: George Gwilt [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 21, 2006 1:14 PM Subject: Re: [ql-users] Nightmare scenario On 19 Feb 2006, at 16:07, Malcolm Cadman wrote: My boot file for QPC2 has : LRESPR windrive$ '_turbo_sms_bin' included in it.

Re: [ql-users] Nightmare scenario
If the problem seems to be SMSQ/E on QPCII, then the user could try one of the QDOS emulators like Qemulator, UQLX, Qlay, etc. UQLX is nice but it requires a non-trivial install (have to load GTK). Qemulator is Shareware and costs about $40 for a full license. I have both QPCII and Qemulator running on my laptop. Qemulator emulates a QDOS system with a TrumpCard and comes with a Minerva rom and maybe other roms. It also runs SMSQ/E (the Gold Card version). A trial version is downloadable, so the customer could try it and see if it works. Tim Swenson ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
Re: [ql-users] Nightmare scenario
In message [EMAIL PROTECTED], gwicks [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes This is a very long shot. I have been contacted by a Quanta member who has just upgraded to QPC2 and he asked for help in running a very old program. The program is so old that it was compiled using Supercharge and the author tells me the source code is no longer available. The problem seems to be that QPC2 does not recognise the Supercharge extensions. As I wrote this really is a long shot, but has anyone experience of running Supercharged programs on QPC2? Supercharge was the early version of Turbo, I believe. The user probably needs to ensure that a version of the relevant Toolkit is also installed and present which may be the one supplied at the time the program was charged or compiled. My boot file for QPC2 has : LRESPR windrive$ '_turbo_sms_bin' included in it. This is the Turbo Toolkit maintained by Dave Gilham, and is the sms version, as QPC2 runs on SMSQ/E. My version is 3b33. I assume that this is available for free download on Dilwyn's web site, for example. So, essentially, it is nothing to do with QPC2, which is just the environment. The user just needs to make sure the old software has all of the relevant elements that it may need installed in memory. Without, the same would occur on a basic black box QL system. Just for the record, I have had the same problem with Qliberated software. These compiled BASIC programs need to have the Qlib_run in memory. Again my boot file has : LRESPR windrive$ '_Qlib_run' included in it. I hope this helps. -- Malcolm Cadman ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
