[ql-users] Some help
Hi, I got some questions from a customer which are pretty much unrelated to QPC and therefore not in my area of expertise. But perhaps somebody else has some answer? Question 1: | I have one issue when running my application I configured in French | (33 in the GUI). | For all kind of application, Quill, Archive, Abacus, after change | fld1 by flp1 in line 360 (archive) and run | | error message is : Veuillez utiliser un QL français Question 2: | How to retrieve data (from Archive for instance) to convert from QL to | textfile under WinXP I have never even used Archive, so I'm a bit of a loss here. TIA, Marcel ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

Only the combined length of code and data area is known. So without knowing the length of the code, I'd wager, nothing. Why do you need that?

They will check the ROM but they aren't copy protected (in conjunction with files).

Within a year or two of writing Concept 3D, Robert moved away from the QL. All development was done with microdrives and they were giving him problems. He never moved to floppies.

I think Archive has an export command too. If it does not, then put use print statements to get the data out in a format like this: It does: export 'filename' as 'filename' produces a quote delimited file. First line is field names, and subsequent are data. You can also list fields to be exported. The major snag with this is that archive allows double quote in data. This will produce invalid export files. I always convert to ' when entering data. One must write a procedure to change all double quotes to single quotes.

I.e. open#3,par print #3, ' Hi ' close #3 will work as well. Marcel Yep it does, as does NEW I just found as it closes open channels, sorry I missed that part of your mail ( rushing about making tea ) not sure how I manage this printing from Archive though, I'm only printing four or five lines ( name + 3 or 4 address line ). Also I managed this fine last year, probably I have upgraded QPC since then though. Thanks for your reply All the best - Bill ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
