Roy,
thanks for that (doh !)
Here's what I have discovered :
Using DJToolkit :
MAX_CON works correctly if the window I do it on is the primary window. If I
do this is S*Basic, I get correct answeres for #0, but different ones for
#anything_else.
I can't get it to compile under Qliberator yet because I continually get
'ambiguous name' errors for all my Easy Pointer commands. This is the first
time I have tried QLiberator on SMSQ, and I don't have my manual here so I
can't look it up. Probably an easy fix.
Using SMSQ
I presume from the implication in your email that SMSQ does and always will
return 'HBA' for VER$ ?
If so, then scr_xlim and scr_ylim are correct for what I need.
If not, then DJToolkit can check to see if these functions exist before
calling them : if CHECK('scr_xlim) then ........
As you say, a black box is always 256 by 512, but I was interested in having
other emulators, Amiga's etc run correctly as well.
Thanks again.
Norman.
