Hi Dilwyn,
Your knowledge and experience with Easyptr would make a useful series of
articles for QL Today.
This is great, wish there were more posting on Easyptr.
Actually, there's one small mistake (a typo) I'm aware of in it, let's
see who spots it ;-)
I suppose that Easyptr is one of the main ways of writing modern QL
software. Trouble is, Easyptr has never really been documented well
beyond what's in the manual (which I was never really happy with) and
the absolute beginner stuff in Norman Dunbar's Easyptr beginners guide
and tutorial.
This "intermediate" Easyptr stuff like my example is something I've
been meaning to do for a while, but never really had the time apart
from the examples I've printed in QL Today, which was GD2 specific. If
I get the time I can rip these working examples from my programs to
perhaps write something which fills the gaps between Norman's tutorial
and the cold hard facts (without many examples) in the manual.
Per Witte has also written some good stuff, like his popup help
routines. And Bob Spelten and Wolfgang Uhlig are two other names who I
can think of who have used it extensively who might be able to document
some examples perhaps.
Do you think the same thing could be done in Turboptr?
I don't know enough about TurboPtr, I'm sure George Gwilt will tell us?
