I'm back! (oh no they all say).
Had a problem with my home telephone which also screwed up my internet connection. It happened at an awkward time when people were trying to get hold of me regarding Launchpad.
Thanks to Darren for putting the message up here. Modern life seems to be impossible without a phone and internet connection!
I downloaded the demo of Launchpad from his web site, and have found that it will not unzip ... it just hangs with :
inflating : filelist_txt inflating : config
Anyone else experienced difficulty or success ?
-- Malcolm CadmanI've not had reports, but I can send you a copy on disk to try if you send me a private email with the address to send it, in case it's due to download problems.
Thanks.
I can wait for another version to be put on the Web. Downloading is not a problem ... although something may have occurred in the zip file.
The version 0.90 on my page has a number of problems in terms of program bugs. I'm close to putting the next version on my website - thanks to everyone who got in touch with bug reports and suggestions for new facilities, especially Fabrizio Diversi, whose suggestions have allowed me to add a couple of useful new facilities like SBASIC program execution, and John Hall and Marcel who got me to add the DO NOT SET options for DISP_SIZE and DISP_COLOUR.
I'm glad I was persuaded to release a trial version like this, it's proved its worth in terms of testing, getting feedback to add new features and improve ways of doing things.
With luck, full release at Byfleet Quanta workshop. I know Darren is going to be there, if I can get someone to cover my saturday night shift at work so I can travel down saturday afternoon I hope to be there to demo it in person.
I expect to be a Byfleet, so will buy a copy :-)
