Peter Graf has kindly replied already and sent me a complete-ready-to-go zip file of emulator and Cygwin files. I cleared out all the old version (winuqlx and cygwin) and Peter told me to just unzip it into a directory and call the batch files, it should just fire up.
The uQLx is 1 version later than the one I got from Phoebus, but sadly results are exactly the same so far - the uqlx.bat batch file opens a command window which displays the batch file messages for 12 seconds then quietly dies without any messages. So, no joy so far, but at least Peter is on the case. I've sent him the results to see if he can suggest where to go from here. Of course, I know nothing about Cygwin so I may be doing something completely and disastrously wrong without knowing, although Peter's instructions did imply it should really be unzip, run batch and go. When I get time, I'll unzip Peter's files to my Wife's Win98SE laptop and try it there, in case it's just the WinXP on this machine causing problems. It'll be nice to get win-uqlx running, as I have experience now of the other QL emulators for Windows, so I'll look forward to learning about this one too. -- Dilwyn Jones _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
