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
