Subject: Re: [Ql-Users] List of QLing 'Terms'
Sorry Dilwyn not to be able to get this *first* privately to you, but
you've
accidentally set something in motion following your misunderstanding of
what
I wrote privately to you. I have to post this here now to try and stop
possible wrong results.

I've made a start on this by sending "John in Wales" (John Hitchcock)
my Glossary_txt file with a request for him to add any other terms and
between us we'll try to "fill the gaps". Meanwhile, if anyone has
suggestions of QL terminology to add to the list to let John know so
he can add the terms to the list for me to write up when it's in a
ready state.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unfortunately Dilwyn forgot to ask me what I think about this above.
Sorry, folks, but it's not my idea of a way forward.
Greetings to all
John in Wales
Apologies John, it does seem I totally misunderstood what you had in
mind.(Have replied privately.)
However, if anyone else would like to pick up on the possibilities of an
enhanced glossary, please let me know. It might still be a useful project
in its own rights, even though it wasn't what John had in mind.

Perhaps not exactly a 'QLing Term', but I'd certainly appreciate an article
detailing the rules about the use of register A6 in assembler programs. I
know from bits I've read that it points to an area of memory that can be
moved and therefore shouldn't be changed, but what about addresses derived
from A6 using LEA; they would become invalid too. When does this memory
block move and why? Can it be moved by the system between two instructions
of a job? So there's a possible subject for a future QL Today article,
unless it's all comprehensively explained in a single article on a website
somewhere...
Ian.
