Re: [ql-users] [Spam?] Re: waiting for QPC print - meanwhile
Dear Bill, if you need Stylus 740 cartridges - I can supply them. We still use several EPSONs here, mainly 740s and 900 and 980s. The alternative ones (PrintRite, which we use for many years) cost EUR 3 for Black and EUR 4 for the colour cartridge (all for Stylus 740) ... plus postage, but they are not heavy. I've got some in stock, expiry 2008.

So as I was in Berwick today I thought I'd get a cartridge for the Epson (stylus 740) only to find it's not supported any more by Curries or Argos although I forgot about our branch of Red Shark, not sure about it as I think they went belly up. Anyway I came away with an HP printer from Argos for £19.99 ( spare black cartridge at £14.99 ) has the world gone mad - yes I think so. got it set up and printing and guess what - yep archive trips up again, seems it is the USB port that it doesn't like as I had the Epson going connected to both USB and Par ( LPT1).

[Ql-Users] Menu Extension update
Hi everybody, ... the last mail reminded me to report that a new version of the Menu Extension is available on the J-M-S support page for registered users. The version with all the changes made 3 months ago at Eindhoven proved working well (Roy reported in BOW in Issue 4 of the current QL Today volume about the changes).

For Windows programs, I miss more lines on the display (you have to scroll a lot!) but Andrea says you get used to it. She replaced her 17 (well working!)

So all in all, after the initial rush I find I need something a little more sophisticated to get by on the move whilst having a real PC at home. The 901 seems a lot more promising but theyre still flogging the inferior 900s here, so itll have to wait. On the other hand, a couple of hundred ££ more will get you a real sub notebook.. Hi Per, I agree that the 701 is too limiting; this is why I favour the Acer Aspire with 120GB HD. It's £229, so still well within the cheap end of the spectrum (compared to £300+ for the 901/MSI Wind) and is very small and efficient. Do try one. The 1024 x 600 resolution over the Eee 701's 800 x 480 is a massive advantage. From what you've said, it seems that the cheaper systems aren't much good for regular use. What about someone like me who has an occasional need for a portable QL away from home, where weight and small size might be important? Or would I be better off (even for occasional light use) to save my pennies and wait until I can afford a more expensive machine?

Re: [Ql-Users] SMSQ.J-M-S.COM pointing to something else
Hi Doug, Not clear how all these things work. However, I wonder if the below was involved in my considerable frustration with the JMS site recently: Dont think so. It only affected subdomains. I've been trying to get the latest QPC v3 (now 3.33, unless you want the 3.34 beta). I would click on Details for QPC, not seeing anything else to give info on how to get it from JMS, one of two major distributors. This simply brought up another instance of where I had just been--this happened four times, taking me in circles. After half an hour of that and some other frustrations, I gave up. No, I tried it - it all worked. FYI, I then went to Marcus' (Kilgus) site and tried to send email requesting a QPC password. The message failed and was sent back after 48 hours or so of non-delivery. Did the mail go to Marcel or to my mail address (s...@j-m-s.com)? Email to s...@j-m-s.com is perfectly well working. So, unless something changes, I will abandon trying to get the latest QPC. I will try to take my old v3 diskette and put it under XP on my MacIntel (MacBook Pro, Mac OS X/ 10.4.11, Parallels VM, XP Pro). Again, FYI, 397 Doug LaVerne (Cust. #).

Well done to you, and always high quality output. The recent small changes to the QL Today magazine have improved it even further too. Hi everybody, just wanted to announce that J-M-S was founded 25 years ago (2nd of May 1984) and has survived for 25 years now!! What a great time it was. I remember many events, starting from early QL shows in Munich (Gaden), or Bielefeld, for example, Austrian events in Heidenreichstein, Paris, UK events all over the country, many US events, Italian ones, Dutch ... early events did not take place at Eindhoven ... and much, much more. Slight problem: I feel it should not be *me* writing about JMS, so maybe I could ask for some short stories about JMS - from your side. For the next QL Today. Which means, I need them soon. :-) Talking about QL Today. Thanks to all who renewed already. This is very encouraging! For those who missed the early renewal deadline: if you renew within the next week (with Bruce or me), we will still accept the old price. For UK, subscribers, this is only £25.50 ... Bruce has just updated his website: http://www.ql-qvd.com/products.html Subscription form, via letter, fax, or no form and email work as well :-) Take this as a little celebration gift. Of course, this applies to renewals AND new subscribers. So, very final deadline: 10th of May. For readers with auto-renewal (especially German ones with direct debit): you will benefit from the reduced early-renewal price, although I have not charged the account yet (did not mention this on the form). I am a bit in a rush at the moment - so more offers will follow later, and through the website and the magazine, so that everybody will be able to see them, not just list subscribers. I don't know what will happen in the next 25 years, but I am happy to look forward to them ... but let's deal with issue 4 of Volume 13 first (material is always welcome!!) and then go together for Volume 14!

Hi, regarding the error message: There was a small bug in the test - it tested for QPC, not SMSQ/E. That is fixed - I have just uploaded QMENU 8.02 to the JMS update server - so it's there for free download for all registered users. Best regardsJochen Francois Lanciault wrote: Hi, I just update my old SMSQ/E (thanks Bruce) to version 3.13 but I have a few problems. First, the menu_rext extension (that is included on the disk) wont load giving the very surprising message... This menu_rext release is only licensed for use on SMSQ/E ... considering that I am running SMSQ/E. (Checked just after the error message using ver$ = HBA and ver$(1) = 3.13) The other problem I have is with the option to move the whole window when dragging with the mouse. The problem is that the window will only move up when I move the mouse up but will remain stationary if I move the mouse in any other directions. The mouse works fine otherwise. The mouse is an Atari mouse attached to the QIMI port of my Aurora board. The same problem exist on Minerva + the latest Wman Ptr_gen. After more experimentation, I noticed that it is in fact possible to move the window in all direction IF I move the mouse very vigourously. And I mean VERY vigourously. Even, doing that will make the window move a tiny bit where it would be supposed to move all the way across the screen. Again, moving up is smooth and fast. I cannot check if the same problem occurs with a serial mouse as I don't have a compatible mouse anymore. I have not finished updating my setup, I might have other questions or problem to report later.

My articles Taking a Hint (pop-up hints and reading lines longer than can be displayed in a regular grid), and Pox (using pop-up windows larger than, or outside, the main program outline) were intended to demonstrate that much of the stuff weve become accustomed to in modern mainstream programs are relatively easily achievable on QL systems too. Most of the techniques used wont be news for many of the contributors to this thread. Anyone else can simply use and modify the S*Basic routines listed. An upcoming article (Ive been told it will appear in the next QLT), Resz, is about interactive resizing of windows It was inspired by Ralf Reköndt's comment on this list: ..how nice [it would be] to use the Windows facility of changing a window size in the lower right edge of a window.. - and the subsequent discussion. My demo in the latter article shows up an annoying (lack of?) feature in ptrgen that it doesnt recognise that a mouse button is pressed when it initialises: it assumes buttons are up :o( And while we are at it: It would be great if ptrgen would be extended to allow registering a keystroke modifier, such as ALT, CTRL and SHIFT together with a mousebutton press. A couple of spare bits in the pointer record might be available for this?

Re: [Ql-Users] The QL Future
Dear George, Marcel's and Jochen's comments made me think twice about considering adding information about my TurboPTR on Rich's site. I was referring to self-advertising for commercial products. I regard any encyclopedia (online or offline) as something which should be as unbiased as possible, and writing something about your own commercial product could not be regarded as this ... that's how I feel about it. Please do not regard this as criticism to anybody who does so (Rich, for example, is doing a great job and I cannot imagine how much time it takes him), but I would rather NOT do it for the products I sell. It would, however, not worry me, for non-commercial products, as you do not (really) want to compete, so I would not regard this as advertising.

Re: [Ql-Users] The QL Future
Hi Rich, Believe it or not, there is still a burgeoning market out there for retro computers - I rely on them for my main source of income at the moment (since I was made redundant in December) and have successfully brought several new products to market (or made old ones available again), and all this helps. I understand this, although I did not sell any old hardware in the past few years, but that was never my aim anyway. When QPC came out and the QL hardware emulator ended, there was no point in me elling hardware. Over the past few years, we have sourced and brought to market: Yes, you are doing a very good job. That is why I forward interested people to you, by the way ;-) 2. The internet may be aimed at providing information, but 99% of sites (including wikis) are used for promotion of business - after all, not many people can afford to set up and maintain a website longterm without it providing some source of revenue. If someone is interested in reading about QPC2 for example, why leave it open ended as to where they can now obtain a copy from ? That is like telling someone about a wonderful product which will change their lives immensely, but if they want to get hold of it, sorry - just look on google and see if anyone else has listed it for sale... Please see other mail. Advertising is advertising, and a lot of internet info IS advertising. A Wikipedia (which I regard as some kind of Lexikon where you look up things and they are explained, but in an unbiased, non-advertising way) is something different in my opinion. THAT is a place where I do not expect (and do not want!!) advertising. It is OK to use a website, where it is clear one wants to sell something, for advertising, and advertise by being found through google etc. ... but that's something different. Even a link or something like (taken from J-M-S webseite to SHOW it could be advertising) is something different. Cheers Jochen ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

Yes, I know... I even used it three times and went back using the ferries - cheaper, more flexible ... well, until they decided to add high surcharges when you reached the ferry EARLIER than planned. I guess if anybody attempts to get into the tunnel by foot, he will be locked away, being treated as terrorist or illegal immigrant...

I know it's a bit like stating the obvious, but have you tried running an Atari ST emulator (such as Gemulator - http://www.emulators.com/gemul8r.htm) on the PC and then using a pdf printer driver? Calamus has an INBUILT ST Emulator, otherwise it wouldn't work on a PC. And of course, both Norman and I tried pdf printer driver (but that was explained earlier in the thread somewhere).

Re: [Ql-Users] QL Today Volume 15 Issue 1
Hi Tobias, Per, all, Even if I personally prefer any printed matter to .PDFs, (There's simply places you won't take your computer for reading...), another word on that: Me too - and that was the essence from our readers when we did the survey some years ago. An electronic version should not replace the paper version completely, otherwise we would have too many unhappy readers. It could only be an additional feature. if I recall it right (It's been years since I have last used Calamus) the in-built PS driver did _not_ do the RIPping, but instead relied on Calamus to send already pixelized data - I'm afraid we'd (again) end up with huge, unsearchable bitmaps, something wich is barely an improvement upon simple scanning. This is what I keep saying. Opposed to that (also from limited memory) Bridge Pro, went in /before/ the actual image processing and should be able to export much smaller, and also searchable files. A bit of searching reveals _this_ (German, unfortunately): http://www.calamus.net/modules/bri.php (It's not free, but Jochen mentioned he'd be willing to support the maintenance of that software... ;-) Ideally, he'd find some other supporters in the QL Toady audience, I guess) Thanks. We found this already. No, it is not free ... and there is no demo, unfortunately. Bridge lite is part of the delivery, but I cannot test the pdf there. PDF is only available in the full version. Let's see if we find supporters... Cheers Jochen ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
Re: [Ql-Users] Hrm
Morning Per Norman, It's been quiet in here for a few days, I thought I might start things up again by asking Jochen why we never get a QL Today in pdf format. ;-) Indeed - all has been said - and support for the Bridge module is ZERO simply no supporters. After that, the thread went completely quiet. But I never said never ... Then again, perhaps it's better that I don't - he's already told us quite a few times. Indeed again. And it is pretty sad to see that Urs' effort did not get feedback either... and it dates back about 2 weeks already.

Re: [Ql-Users] Hrm
Morning Norman, Indeed - all has been said - and support for the Bridge module is ZERO simply no supporters. After that, the thread went completely quiet. But I never said never ... Well, I couldn't offer support for the bridge as (a) the description of it was all in German which I cannot read (I'm afraid and ashamed to say) or understand. Well, I don't think Tobias was referring to this kind of support. As we know (and your German was good enough to figure all this out :-) there is no test version. Indeed again. And it is pretty sad to see that Urs' effort did not get feedback either... and it dates back about 2 weeks already. I gave feedback! Honest, I did! At least, I'm sure I did! (Note to self, check the archives!) Oh, I checked this before I wrote it (as I did not remember a reply) and I cannot find anything in this thread after Urs' message, 14th of Oct. But I guess Urs, you and Wolfgang did not really count as we were on the active side, not the demanding side ;-) In fact, I gave the feedback that Urs had produces a nice bitmapped PDF which I was able to extract text from and create a smaller (ie a few pages rather than the whole of issue 1) PDF where the text was text and not an image. Which I thought was the problem - Calamus creates bitmapped PDFs which are huge and we really need text based ones which are much smaller. Yes, they are way too huge - they should be text-based AND smaller. And the only possible solution seems to be the Bridge Module (back in the circle). Just this quick reply, then I'm out for this week - extremely busy (taxes 2009 have to be finished by Sunday). Good luck. I've not long finished mine for end of year.

Re: [Ql-Users] Huge Sinclair repository on DVD out now!
Both machines are running Win XP Pro. Any idea what could be the reason? Could it be that the disk is a DVD- or a DVD+ and the one drive cannot read that format? Always a pain with DVD s! Mine has also arrived and works - many thanks for this! :-) Fine. Yes, especially with RWs ... I did some tests some years ago and most DVD-RWs were not readable on other systems, so I gave up on them. DVD-RAM were and are very reliable, and much more flexible. You may be right, but for non-rewritables, I thought that this + and - issue should be history ... as all drives were able to read both for many years now.

Re: [Ql-Users] Huge Sinclair repository on DVD out now!
Hi Adrian, No problems here. My congratulations to all involved. A great piece of work! Thanks. As I know from experience, you can never be certain that every disk is going to be readable by every drive. Even if you verify each disk after burning, some read problems are almost inevitable. And the very act of printing on the disks might introduce a miniscule rotational imbalance that makes the disk borderline on certain makes of drive. I guess the post can do more damage to a disk than printing (here is no pressure involved). Or do you refer to weight of the ink ;-) +R/-R shouldn't be an issue these days, but still, some drives are better at reading one format than another. My personal preference is +R. I don't even know if it was a +R or -R ... as written in the magazine and the one before, I've never created such a DVD. Anyway, nice work. ... :-) Cheers Jochen ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

Hi Norman, As someone who has to burn a pile of DVDs for a living (at work that is!) I know exactly what a PITA it is to do, so a huge thank you to Jochen - who I assume did the burning - it is an extremely thankless task. Yes, all done with the same burner to ensure everybody gets the same DVD. Took some days (only 4x speed). Equally huge thanks are due to everyone who scanned, collated and edited the DVD contents - thanks everyone. From me too, again. I for one, appreciate the hard work and effort involved.

I received a fax two days ago which looked a bit like a renewal form.

Hello, just a quick info that we are still missing several renewals. I am about to send out the one and only reminder end of this week ... but as I rather invest the money in additional pages of the magazine instead of paying postage for the reminders, I'd like to ask you to renew as soon as possible, preferably online: http://www.qltoday.com ... or http://smsq.j-m-s.com Thanks for your support!

[Ql-Users] Plans for QL2013
Plans for QL 2013 It seems that the article in the last issue of QL Today has triggered something for next year. The venue this time will be Hamburg ... a nice city and worth visiting, if you have not been there yet. And if you have, worth another visit too... as the address will be Reeperbahn 1 (famous!) - the entry to St. Pauli. Rainer Wolkwitz offered a conference room for the meeting for up to 200 people in den Tanzenden Türmen/STRABAG ... and he says it will have a beautiful view over Hamburg and its port (only 10 minutes walking distance from there). The towers are quite interesting to look at, especially if you stay in front of them. Here, for example, are some pictures: http://www.strabag-real-estate.com/databases/internet/_public/content.nsf/web/DE-STRABAGREAL.COM-PROJEKTE-B%C3%9CRO-Tanzende%20T%C3%BCrme,%20Hamburg#?men1=2men2=undefinedsid=232h=2 We thought that the date for the meeting should avoid the holiday season and major events in Hamburg, to increase chances for reasonable hotel rates. We found that the following dates are probably the best ones, chances for good weather, chances for less traffic, chances for affordable hotels: a) Weekend 18th/19th of May b) Weekend 25th/26th of May c) Weekend 1st/2nd of June d) Weekend 31st of August/1st of September So, we should start working out which date suites most of you best, and if you prefer the Saturday or the Sunday to be the meeting date. Assuming, that a visit to Hamburg will not just be for a QL meeting, other activities like siteseeing or shopping can easily be placed around the meeting. A note for visitors from outside Germany: shops are closed on Sunday, but there are loads of other things to do, e.g. like visiting the harbour and various ships, or cruise through the harbour, musicals, Zoo Hagenbeck, all sorts of museums or the famous Miniatur Wunderland (the world's largest miniature train exhibition). Please let us know if there is any interest, and what would be your preferred date and day ... please send an email to s...@j-m-s.com, subject QL2013 and the letters for your TWO preferred dates (a,b,c,d) and whether you prefer Saturday or Sunday, or no preference. Also, help would be most welcome - Rainer said he does not have too much time to care for other things like hotels. He can provide technical equipment which could be required for talks or demonstrations (hint, hint!), like a large screen or projector and internet, of course. Please reply a.s.a.p. so that we can start working on the details. For dates in May, only half a year is left, which is 2 issues of QL Today in between for a poll of the preferred date and advertising for the event. We may not be able to fill the room with 200 people, but after having had several meetings in the South, this is very North and a chance to meet people we have not seen for many years! And - Hamburg is worth visiting and seeing anyway! Best regardsJochen ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

Re: [Ql-Users] QL Today
Yes - small packet. However the price difference in Europe is not high. Small packet is anything up to 2kg. No steps. Costs 8,20 EUR ... not an optional at all. I reckon though the main reason must be writers, and production time/cost. And the always decreasing number of readers - time was unpaid, anyway. I suspect most readers would be prepared to pay extra postage. No, adding 8 or 10 EUR will be an increase we never had before ... and we lost many readers when there were smaller increases. Also, direct debit will have to be re-done for German readers thanks to new EU rules - they will have to send a signed mandate back - which will lead to losses in readership again. Anyway, let's see if something new comes out of all this - maybe it's a chance. Jochen ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

The constant increase in postal rates is self defeating, the more they go up, the less poeple send. Look at Christmas cards, card pennies, post 40p, just out of step. I bet we have all cut back on Christmas cards, for this reason. Many professional producted magazines are going down the same road to electronic, to keep costs under control. So we are not alone with this issue. Yes, very true. I have also to say writing for QLToday spured me on to write my hardware articals. It was a focal point as a publication and deadlines.

All other issues will be shipped early next week from Austria (airmail to all destiantions outside of Austria). I have to split it this way to get the best postage for every destination - 48pages plus DVD went way over the budget, especially as Deutsche Post removed the InfoBrief service surprisingly early this year and the subscription price (summer 2012) did not cover it at all - but I thought that it would be great to end everything with a great issue!

Re: [Ql-Users] QL Today + DVD
On a personal note, as the first editor of the magazine, it was so nice that the last words on the back cover of the very last issue were in Welsh, not sure of that was a subtle and personal note or not, but in case it was (and knowing Geoff it might well have been) thanks for that and for the number of times my name appears in this last issue. It was me actually and it was deliberate, of course :) I very much hope that Jochen, Bruce and Geoff will remain involved with the QL for some time to come. I can only speak for myself, but yes, I will... it was a hard decision giving up QL Today, but I still use QPC every day. I also plan to start (learn?) programming in assembler again ... not having done this for over 10 years - and I also miss it. Thanks guys, I will miss QL Today. Thanks Dilwyn, I'm sure I'll miss it too. Cheers Jochen ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
Re: [Ql-Users] QL Today + DVD - re-prints possible!
Just a quick info: as there seems to be demand for more issues, I still accept orders on my homepage http://smsq.j-m-s.com/ I will collect orders until middle of October. I need at least 10 for the re-print (otherwise it costs me much more to drive to the printer twice etc.) ... but so far we already have 2! That was quick. If I have 10 earlier (by the end of this month, for example), I will also do the re-print earlier and mail them as soon as I have them.

[Ql-Users] QL Today + DVD - even more re-prints (but that's the last chance)!
Just a quick info: I got more inquiries over the weekend for more re-prints. I am very glad to see there is so much interest in the QL, in QL Today and QPC etc. ... I guess we all can take this as a kind of compliment. I don't want to turn anybody down, but this time it will be the final re-print ... definitely. So please spread the word wherever you can: if there's interest in QL Today Volume 17 (all 4 issues) together with the Bonus DVD including FREE FULL QPC2 V4, then it is time to order NOW! As all the previous re-prints are gone, I will do a (really) final print-run. I have enabled orders for the next week: http://smsq.j-m-s.com/ I will collect orders, have the issues printed next week and ship everything the following week.

If people were not willing to spend less than what QPC2 on its own cost, then so be it. I'd rather support the people who supported us (QL Today, Marcel and me) over the years ... I re-printed twice for interested people who read it late or through other sources. I printed a few extra ones (Rich Mellor suggested to print a few more, which I did in the end) which can still be ordered, and once those are gone that'll be it from my side regarding QL Today and Bonus DVD.

Re: [ql-users] The QL is an adult computer conference
I also had problems sleeping on Friday night due to the noise from the heating system (I had left my window open all evening so the temperature itself was okay). Saturday night wasn't so bad, which probably had something to do with getting to bed late after consuming plenty of Guinness and red wine before/during/after the evening meal! Indeed - there was a heating problem. Other than that, I had a great time. Yes. Two comments: 1) We could have done with more space in the main room on Saturday. Yes. It would have helped if the air in the room had been a bit better too, but that was probably also down to the heating/failing climate control. Although it was said that on Saturday, 42 visitors were present, it looked a bit empty due to the talks. Maybe it was also that I missed some of the usual visitors from abroad ... I think except for Marcel and myself, there was no one from abroad (Germany, Switzerland, Ireland etc) Even so, I met new faces to names which I had not met during the 20 years in the past :-) Cheers Jochen -- Jochen Merz Software - Kaiser-Wilhelm-Str. 302 - D-47169 Duisburg Tel. +49-(0)203-502011 Fax +49-(0)203-502012 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Homepage: http://SMSQ.J-M-S.COM ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

Maybe you should try fiddling with the Extended properties of the printer, e.g. disable the spooler and send contents directly to the printer.

Hi Bill, no, confusion. Ralf asked about programming, not the Windows settings. I referred to the Windows settings. Try right-clicking the printer, properties, Advanced or Extended or whatever (I can't tell, I've got a German Windows) and there you can disable the spooling. Nothing to do with programming.

To be PRECISE, DP holds (or held, or whatever the situation might be) the right to sell the ENGLISH version of QMON.

Hi everybody, just wanted to say that I'll be at the Eindhoven QL meeting tomorrow, Saturday - same venue as always (St. Joris College, Eindhoven, NL). Will bring the usual range, but if you want anything special please let me know today. QL Today will hopefully be ready for Byfleet. I had a bad cold last week, and headache/migrane often 4 or 5 days in a week (including today), therefore I am behind the planned schedule. Will try to do my best, as always. Now the bad news: I was planning to come to Byfleet together with Bernd Reinhardt. Bernd told me yesterday that he can't make it... he's got the workers in his house (new pipes, new bathrooms for him and the flats he rents out) and the schedule here is way behind schedule, he said. Missing parts are supposed to arrive any time in the next two, three weeks - so he has to be present and definitely can't be away for that long weekend. I may have mentioned it before, with my current health situation, travelling long distances on my own is impossible. I am very, very sorry having to say that ... and we both hope to be able to make it to Hove and/or Byfleet next year. Sorry Ken, sorry John (can't bring the items as discussed ... if you think it makes sense to ship them, I'll find out about postage), sorry to everybody coming to the show and expecting me to be there.
