Remember that i'm still using Qdos. Has Turbo been kept compatible with that, or does it only support SBasic and SMSQ/E? If it is not compatible what is the most recent version of turbo that is compatible with my system?Ok some of the advice was maybe not quite worded concisely. The Pointer Environment is the three files PTR_GEN, WMAN, and HOT_REXT. These form the basis of the extended system and are, as you said, bundled into SMSQ/E in an extended form. QPC2 is a collection of system handling routines including file management and job management. The Pointer environment files are now freely distributable and are backwardly compatible.
I've been given so much advice that my head is spinning. In one email I was advised to by QPAC2, but was then told that its the same as the pointer environment I already have. But I thought that it comes bundled with SMSQ/E, so if I were to buy that I wouldn't need QPAC2 as well, surely?
I know my memory isn't as complete as it was, but I'm pretty sure that I bought Qram, which just happened to have the pointer environment bundled with it. QPAC2 also included the pointer environment, but they were different products; but I don't remember what differentiated them. (we are talking 1987 here after all).
QRam was a precursor to most of this.
