The way it is at the moment, the drive letters are irrelevant because the batch file in the root, everything is relative addressed from there and it seems to work so far. > Be warned that the Stick may come up with different drive letters, > this > will throw into confusion any config routine, certainly in > Qemulator. QemuLator runs and saves its configuration OK. There was an unexpected problem I ran into: I have a registered QemuLator on my hard disk in the usual Windows Program Files location. I then ran its setup.exe and decompressed a copy to the memory stick. When I started it, shock horror, it came up as a 'registered' version. So I unregistered it, and lo and behold my own registered copy also unregistered. Whichever you registered or unregistered, both did so at the same time, so obviously QemuLator is finding its registration info in a fixed location, probably in the usual C:\program files\qemulator\ > Not to mention when inserted in another machine, the serial code > needs > re-entering for Qem' atleast. Not a problem for 'Ql On A Stick' at least since I only provide the unregistered version, but you are correct of course, when a user gets a registration code from Daniele this will be the case. Sadly, QemuLator is the only one causing any significant problem at the moment. Has anyone used Phoebus's uQLX for Windows? I've never used it to know if it's worth adding to the stick. -- Dilwyn Jones _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
