The files that I have in the "uqlx" directory are : README, README~1.TXT, UQLX.BAT, QM.EXE, VMTEST.EXE, XWIN.EXE, CYGFRE~1.DLL, CYGWIN1.DLL, CYGX11-6.DLL, CYG2.DLL, LIBX11.DLL, COPRI~1, UQLXRC~1, SETUP.EXE, QMEXE~1.STA, SETUP.LOG, SETUPL~.FUL WINUQLX.RAR, WRAR320.EXE [DOCS], [ROMDIR], [TMP], [WIN1] 19 file(s) - just over 12MB Is that similar on your version ? As you say there are 2 Windows in the start up. The first is the X-Window to run the uqlx.bat file. In my version this shows : Starting uQLx on Windows V.0.1a - Phoebu R. Dokos ECHO is off The second X-Window is then opened for the Emulator itself : Start qm.exe - Version 0.0 My version then drops out - back to the first X-Window - with a message about not finding a mountpoint. The first X-Window then has a message > Finished uqlx I have also noted that in the README.TXT that the supplied version requires a re-build for WINDOWS NT and WINDOWS XP. So, the version that I have is for WIN95 and WIN98. Have you edited the ".uqlxrc" ( a dot, then uqlxrc ) to have the path name for where uqlx can find a QXL.WIN file ? I have mine set to : DEVICE = DOS1,c:/uqlx/ Which is not correct, at present, because I haven't got a QXL.WIN file in there to look at. Hence the mountpoint error that I am getting. My QXL.WIN files are located on other devices that are not working on the PC at this time. So, I am looking at this information via Windows Safe Mode. Until I fix the hardware problem. -- Malcolm Cadman _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
