If Daniele Terdina, Rickard Zidlicky and Phoebus are lurking here today, can you let us know if the various QemuLators and uQLxes can handle a QXL.WIN in a sub-directory? e.g. can they access C:\foo\QXL.WIN
Or only C:\QXL.WIN, D:\QXL.WIN and so on? Also, can a QXL access more than one QXL.WIN anywhere other than root directory? Suspect the answer is no if using vanilla QXL SMSQ, yes if using qxl smsq/e The apparently simple answer is to put all the software into a single QXL.WIN, but then you run into the infamous QL 36 character filename limit unless you shorten directory names, I'm already close to that on some of the CDs. Even worse, some of the emulators have files which even go beyond what you can put on an ISO9660 CD, not to mention the QL fileame limit!
