Hi Ben, Just a thought regarding copying files from QL(QDOS or SMSQ) to PC (MSDOS) environment, a trap I fell foul of when putting together the early Quanta Library CDs.
Any QL Executable files will have their headers corrupted or even removed by this process rendering them unworkable. Such files should be Zipped first, copied to the CD then Unzipped back in the QL environment under whatever emulator you are using. It's not as straight forward as it seems. I copied all my QL stuff to floppies in QDOS then moved them into Qxl.win files on the PC inside QPC2. Happy QLing John Gilpin. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ben Lawrence" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, January 06, 2006 9:44 PM Subject: [ql-users] Extracting QL Programmes from Microdrive to PC > Hi All > > This is my first post here so please go gently with me! > > I have just resurrected my QL by getting a new keyboard membrane for it, > and have been delighted to find all the programmes and documents that I > wrote 21 years ago. > > I would like to get the files transferred onto my PC so I can run them > under an emulator. > > Does anybody know of a method of transferring files from microdrive to CD? > Does anybody offer this as a service? > > I only have a standard QL with microdrives - I have no disk drives etc. > > Any help or suggestions gratefully received! > > All the best > > Ben > _______________________________________________ > QL-Users Mailing List > http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
