Evening Dave,

Well, you've been away for a while! ;-)
Anyway, I haven't done much SuperBasic programming for a long time now,
what little QL programming I get to do is purely for the Assembly
Language series in QL Today - so it's mostly in Assembler. I forget
stuff as well.

In fact, and George will laugh at me for this, the other night I was
trying to assemble a program with a "movem" (Move Multiple) instruction
in it, I had two actually, and both failed to assemble. I was doing this:

movem.l d1,d3-d5/a0,a2-a3,-(a7)
...
movem.l (a7)+,d1,d3-d5/a0,a2-a3

I simply could not see what I had done wrong. I had to get my 6800x
programmers manual out and then it was obvious:

movem.l d1/d3-d5/a0/a2-a3,-(a7)
...
movem.l (a7)+,d1/d3-d5/a0/a2-a3

:-(

I'm glad yo think so! ;-) I'm thinking of iframes and CSS etc, EPUB
files have their own style sheets as well.

Me too! They'd have to be maintained in position and scrolled etc. I
suspect it's not all that impossible, Dilwyn's Page Designer did
something similar, I'm sure.

Ah yes, DRM. I have an eReader from iRiver, it's great. I only have a
couple of DRM'd books so far. Most of my stuff is for work and are PDF
based, but I use Calibre (for Linux, Windows etc) to hold my library on
my laptop where reading PDFs is much easier, and I can convert them to
EPUB as and when required.

Funny how a couple of us should be thinking of an eReader at almost the
same time. ;-)


Cheers,
Norman.
