Morning François, I'm still listening and trying to figure out why my keyboard doesn't do what it is supposed to do with 'QPC' under 'Vista' making it nearly impossible to use QPC. You need to upgrade I think to run QPC under Vista. See Marcel's web site for details. Cheers, Norman. ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
[Ql-Users] WIN files with QPC2
When I put my QPC2 onto a stick I had to define where WIN1 to WIN3 were. The definition depended on what letter each host machine decided to use for the stick. This was no problem. However I have tried without success to define a WIN file across a PC network. Does anyone know how to do this? Or indeed to be able to see any file across such a network.

We don't have a British Pound symbol (was the C-64 the last keyboard in the US to have that?), but we certainly have a \. I can't imagine any other major modern day differences. We have the $ sign above the 4 key, so I would assume that you have the British Pound symbol above the same, no? = Bill Loguidice, Managing Director Armchair Arcade, Inc. http://www.armchairarcade.com A PC Magazine Top 100 Website = -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of George Gwilt Sent: Friday, October 03, 2008 10:13 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Ql-Users] I must test, No traffic my way for 2 weeks Not long ago I put my QPC2 on a stick and took it to the US where I used several machines including one with Vista. It worked OK except that under Vista it was painfully slow. I seem to remember that the keyboards in the States were not the same as in the UK. I think they lacked a backslash. Anyway I had to get round that, possibly by redefining a key or two for the QL.

Re: [Ql-Users] WIN files with QPC2
In message [EMAIL PROTECTED], George Gwilt [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes Hi, Does the recent article in QL Today, by Dilwyn Jones, cover this ? Entitled Relative Path Names and QL Emulators. Using the DOS command of ..\ - where the - dot dot backslash - takes you to the root directory of a device. So, if your WIN1_ is kept in the root directory of the C Drive, then ..\QXL.WIN would define WIN1_ is in the QPC2 Configuration window. If your WIN3_ is still called QXL.WIN by default, but is held somewhere else, then you can use ..\Somewhere\QXL.WIN to define where WIN3_ is in the QPC2 Configuration window. He also suggests making use of WIN_DRIVE and DOS_DRIVE commands. So, the same WIN3_ could be assigned as WIN_DRIVE 3,'..\Somewhere\QXL_WIN' ( Note : The use of the single quotes ). He then goes on to describe using UNC ( Universal Naming Convention ) to specify the location of resources on a local network. The format is \\server_name\shared_resource\path_name Suppose your other machine - server_name - is Computer2. It can then be accessed by \\Computer2\mydocs\Example.doc You have to make the other computer a shared resource to do this. On a PC, with WIN XP, you do all this from My Network Places. Just read through the Help files to assist how it is done. It is very useful, too, for sharing a portable PC with a main desktop PC. For QL Emulators, Dilwyn also goes on to describe in the article how to do something similar with QL2K and QEMULATOR. When I put my QPC2 onto a stick I had to define where WIN1 to WIN3 were. The definition depended on what letter each host machine decided to use for the stick. This was no problem. However I have tried without success to define a WIN file across a PC network. Does anyone know how to do this? Or indeed to be able to see any file across such a network.

Re: [Ql-Users] I must test, No traffic my way for 2 weeks
With QPC2, you just define the country in the set up and the keyboard matches. In the USA, by setting this the keyboard is the North American one automatically. jim On 3-Oct-08, at 10:51 AM, Bill Loguidice wrote: We're talking about a modern keyboard, right, not a North American QL?
