Two new pointer driven programs (written by me you'll be sad to hear)
are now available from the Freeware page on my website.
Conversions is a Metric/Imperial units conversion program. Type in the
number of inches, it'll tell you the equivalent in millimetres or vice
versa. Type in the temperature in degrees Celsius, it will tell you
the equivalent in Fahrenheit units.
SystemSet is a system settings utility, with three main purposes.
First, it helps you check and alter QL system clock settings, avoiding
the need for SDATE commands from S*BASIC. Secondly, it helps you set
PAR_USE, RAM_USE, DEV_USE, FLP_USE, SER_USE, WIN_USE and so on.
Thirdly, the Files section helps you create directories and also
provides a simple to use pointer driven file selection menu which when
used in conjunction with the Stuffer Buffer, gives an easy method of
pointer driven file selection even in non-pointer driven programs.
Just select the file you want, left click (HIT) on it and the filename
is now in the stuffer buffer. From the other program, use ALT-SPACE to
insert the filename when the program asks you to enter a filename.
Both programs are freeware and will be added to the latest release of
the DJ Bargain Software Bundle from Q-Celt Computing as soon as we are
confident the programs are reasonably free of bugs - someone please
download them and test them for me!
