Re: [Ql-Users] uQLx
in QDisk.c for the lines (around line 295) containing 'WA', 'A5' 'B5' as part of a switch statement. If your processor is a big endian one, the code should work; however, if it is little endian (like the x86 processors), then the tests will definitely fail - changing them to 'AW', '5A' and '5B' should fix the working, but not the warnings. ARM is, is far as I know, bi-endian. Very complicated. J.D. ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

No, the code is correct and does work (would be somewhat silly if a central piece like this didn't work on PCs, the platform most people use for uQLx). Check the RW macro definiton.

OK, perfect. Once it will be able to compile for ARM on Genesi, it will be possible to run it on Raspberry too. J.D. ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

I take it this means Lee asked awkward questions, and then fled the country for a while, just in case :-) Actually, well done Lee for taking the QL message straight to the heart of Raspberry Pi. The more they are aware of us, the more likely I guess they will be to co-operate to help us make a QL of it.

I've also been in contact with them about SBASIC and the QL on it, and probably many more have too.

Well I hope so, even if you're not a QUANTA member but still a QL enthusiast, I believe that every additional hint/quote/comment or thought dropped on to the Raspberry Pi website forum or directly in an email to one of the people there adds the chance to get others on board in supporting the QL and SuperBASIC being a noted part of this hardware, stimulating young people all over the world in to the joys of QL programming. Incidentally I have recently got a copy (finally) of Jan Jones' definitive guide (QUANTA version) and found it takes a total of just over fours to read cover to cover (2 hours on the plane going, 2 hours on the plane back) and found a good quote I really liked, SuperBASIC is a language designed by programmers for programmers On Tue, Aug 30, 2011 at 5:36 PM, Bryan Horstmann b...@newlan.org wrote: I've also been in contact with them about SBASIC and the QL on it, and probably many more have too.

I can't remember where I read it, but there's a fascinating story somewhere about Jan Jones and the history of SuperBASIC. It might have been either in Tony Tebby's articles in QL Today, or possibly in the Sinclair history articles on Chris Owen's Wordl of Spectrum Spectrum and QL site, where the implication was that had Jan Jones not been willing to write SuperBASIC largely in her own time (there's faith for you), it might never have seen the light of day in a QL from Sinclair, or at least not in its eventual released form. SuperBASIC in its day (and still is to a great extent) a wonderful BASIC interpreter for home computers and of course since then SBASIC has built on this to become a Super-Duper BASIC if you like.
