[ql-users] Q60 and Text87

2006-10-02 Thread David McCann
When I bought a Q60 a couple of years ago, Text87 would not run under
SMSQ. It worked under QDOS on the Q60 and under SMSQ on the Q40, but the
combination Q60+SMSQ+Text87 was impossible.

The question is, did anyone ever solve that problem, say with the newer
versions of SMSQ?

Someone offered to buy my Q60 the other day, but I warned him off when I
discovered he needed Text87. Was I keeping him from making the same
mistake I did, or missing a chance to get shot of the the most expensive
door-stop I ever bought?

  DATE - SMSQ/E compatibility toolkits for QDOS and Minerva

 Ah, somebody who puts his money where his mouth is, I like that! :-)
 Thanks.

More mouth than money, I guess ;o)

In the end I decided to nick and package the code from the Minerva sources 
instead of extracting and tidying up my own code, some of which originally 
came from Qdos, as Im uncertain about the status of the Qdos disassembly...

Pity its not possible to update the system keywords in Qdos prior to JS. 
There must be some way of doing this though, as I believe TK2 updates the 
CALL command. Does anyone know a way around this?

PS: I discovered a bug in my source code for the DATE function. Anyone who 
extracted this before now should reload the date.htm page. The toolkit is 
not affected.

I wrote a patch for Text87 that solves it. It costs 12EUR.

I don't allow directory access.
Under Linux ../../ and so on gives people system file access.

You have to use the link I gave.

[ql-users] Scale

Hi guys,

Given that by default the top edge of the window is 100 in the graphics 
coordinate system, how do I find out what the right hand edge coordinate is, 
based on the size of the window? Is this the same across platforms? The 
figures I get dont appear to make sense!

Q-Branch advertise it for 9 pounds on page 32 of the current issue of 
QL Toady, Jochen Merz also sells it but it's not listed in his advert 
for some reason. Jochen described the patch in the news pages in 
Volume 8 Issue 5 page 5 (Jan/Feb 2004 issue). I think it's also 
described on Marcel's website.

In the description in QL Today, Jochen said it only works with the 
latest version of Text 87plus4 E4 (English - file size 116850 bytes) 
or g4 (German - file size 117354). I don't know if this information 
has changed at all since then.

Hope this helps.

Now, if you had the SBASIC/SuperBASIC Reference Manual, you would be able  
to find out this weird and wonderful information (ok enough of the plug).

As we cannot post attachments to the list, I have placed a copy of the

Can I suggest that since this week sees the next issue of Quanta Magazine

or others like it - please send them to [EMAIL PROTECTED] as soon as

Just a precise answer to the question.

 What is it called?

Text87 patch.

 Where would one get it?

JMS, QBranch.

 Why haven't I ever seen it advertised in Quanta or QL Today?

I think it's been advertised for 2 years in every QL Today issue.
