Hi all, Here is the new version of QBase.
Changes: - Loads in 512x256 resolution, and is resizable. - May be called with a command-line parameter, e.g. ex flp1_Qbase_obj;'flp1_data_dbs' - Lots of refactoring. The eagle-eyed among you may notice that it's a lot smaller than it was. Tested on QPC2 with SMSQ/E 3.31, Q-Emulator with SMSQ/E 3.31 Unlike the previous version, this one also works on Q-Emulator with Minerva. I couldn't get it to work on a JS ROM. It reported "Channel not open", and I've no idea why. Is it important to anyone to run QBase on original QL hardware? Testing with Q_Emulator and Minerva at "QL speed" it appears to be extremely slow, especially when switching to tabular mode. I could try to get it to run a bit faster if anyone is interested. I hadn't remembered just how much faster QPC is than a real QL until I started using Q-Emulator. Download the new QBase here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/4s3fm0rm84mxfn7/QBase.zip?dl=0 Currently I have numbered this version 0.99. It will become version 1.0 one it's been tested and bugfixed Finally, I'd like to give an honourable mention to MasterBasic by Ergon Development (Davide Santachiara). It made 80s-style program editing bearable (almost...). The more massive refactoring was done with Notepad++ on Windows. Regards to all, D.
