oh well, while we are on the subject of 'monumental cock-ups' (grin) on the CD, 
here's another :

The stuff I converted to DocBook are not actually in DocBook format contrary to 
the editorial in the magazine and on the readme on the CD. The Assembler series 
and the MC6800x reference I mean.

These were converted to DocBook and from that, the HTML files on the disc were 
generated. The files on CD are in HTML, not DocBook.


In addition, Geoff, I have *almost* got a working Sudoku generator giving the 
options of easy, medium, hard and bloody hell - I even generate an unsolvable 
grid with only 4 blank spaces :o)

Watch this space .

Hi

It takes between 1 minute 18 seconds and 1 minute 24 seconds to
convert a 1025x512 mode 33 pic or scr to .bmp on my Q60 80Mhz with the
SBASIC ex-ed as a multitasking SBASIC program, source on hard disk
output to ram1_

Just out of interest, can you give me an idea how long it takes to
convert a 1024x512 picture on Q40 or Q60 (whichever you use)?

if anyone can tell me the correction needed I'll update the program on 
my website and CDs.

I presume you were using SMSQ/E, not QDOS Classic?

I think the problem might be that there is a close bracket in the 
wrong place after the PEEK in line 480, which tries to make the 
program PEEK an illegal place ending up at address 0 to 7. I think it 
should read as follows to cure this problem but I can't test this as I

 a basic  program to convert mode 32 screens to bmp. In the text are

 Just a word of warning. There is an error in line 270. Amend this

 Ok so I tried the program with the changes for mode 33. However I

I have the impression Tesco.net's spamfilter is not properly working ...
My mails to other tesco.net users bounced back,
correctly written, but tesco.net reported wrong errors.

I tried sending from different SMTPs which were not blacklisted
(at least not in public databases).

If you were using an account from 11, for example, you may
find that many mails bounced as the IP of the main SMTP of 11
and many neighbourhood IPs were blacklisted in various
public lists, including Spamcop (for several days until yesterday).

 To answer this we really need more information on the type of files, but

 It is truecolor hires snapshots taken with the launchpad util.
