Re: [Ql-Users] THE DISTRIBUTION - Word is out!
Hallo Urs, danke dafür, leider hat sich das mit einer neuen Version von SMSQE überschnitten. Und ich hatte gerade erst die letzte Version von THE DISTRIBUTION heruntergeladen.

Late additions in the SQPP exclusive gems part are the original QL Demonstration software by Sinclair Research Ltd and the QL SCREEN-COLLECTIONS (QLSC). QL/E has been vastly improved and now supports at least seven (7) QL compatible platforms (QPC2, SMSQmulator, QXL, QPC1, QemuLator, uQLx and QL-SD). Plus many improvements and tweaks here and there. This new and final version of "QL IS 30 2014 - THE DISTRIBUTION" fits again on a DVD, previous versions were slightly over the limit. Almost perfect. Have fun with THE DISTRIBUTION!

Re: [Ql-Users] New QPC2 plus SMS/E v3.26
Hi all, Yes v. 3.26 is out. Marcel has done it again! Have fun.

Fixed zero flag handling in NBCD and memory variants of ABCD and SBCD. Fixed edge cases in flag handling of ASR, LSL. Changed SBCD to also conform to a real CPU when one or both operands are not BCD. SMSQ/E version history: 3.26 Implemented RENAME support for the DOS device (MK). Added alpha blending support for general graphics functions (MK/WL). New trap iow.salp to set the alpha blending weight (MK). New SBasic keyword ALPHA_BLEND to set the alpha blending weight (MK). Enjoy! Marcel ___ QL-Users Mailing List ___ QL-Users Mailing List

[Ql-Users] R: Today 30 years ago...
Well done Urs Regards Davide -Messaggio originale- Da: Ql-Users [mailto:ql-users-boun...@lists.q-v-d.com] Per conto di Urs Koenig (QL) Inviato: venerdì 22 aprile 2016 20:39 A: ql-us...@q-v-d.com Oggetto: Re: [Ql-Users] Today 30 years ago... Hi QLers, April 23rd, what does this date say to us? Saint George's Day, The Bayerische Reinheitsgebot (regarding the ingredients of beer) was signed 500 years ago, William Shakespeare died on that day 400 years ago, the Sinclair ZX Spectrum was launched 34 years ago. Great day in history! The QLs official life span was from January 1984 to April 1986 when Amstrad axed the QL. Well, Ive seen some Samsung QLs manufactured in May 1986, but those were most likely built that month on behalf of the last valid order from Sinclair Research Ltd. Although 2 ¼ years sound like a short period and I cannot remember how long it felt back in the 80s, I personally felt exactly how long it is when I judge the QL is 30 activities which started on the QLs 30th launch anniversary back on January 12th 2014. Even I was busy in both life and work Ive spent quite an amount of time (several hundred hours) for and with the QL during the last 26 months. To name just the major milestones like the QL is 30 website http://www.qlis30.org.uk/, QL IS 30 2014 THE DISTRIBUTION, the ZX-TEAM-meetings 2014, 2015 and 2016 in Germany, meeting Rick Dickinson and David Karlin again in 2014 and 2015, attending La Nuit des Musées 2014 in Switzerland, the QLis30 dinner and workshop in Scotland, testing and integrating new versions of SMSQ/E and SMSQmulator, updates to QL/E and THE DISTRIBUTION, this was a very intense QL period, at least for me. Today is the release of the final version 3.04 of QL IS 30 2014 THE DISTRIBUTION. This marks the end of my QL is 30 activities. QL forever!
