I dont mind too much, because Im sure itll get sorted out eventually - its been like this with every major development, from AH (and its unspeakable predecessors) to JS; from "JM" thru the A, B and C drivers for the Atari, etc. It would be worrying if essential programs such as Qlib, EZptr and others were no longer being upgraded. What is the status on ezptr? Is there any news on Qlib? Per

[ql-users] QLiberator problems - any ideas ?
I'm getting puzzled now ! On QPC2v2, and with QLiberator 3.35 I am compiling an old program of mine which just happens to be Screen Snatcher 2 - because Malcolm wants some changes made for the new screen resolutions. I cannot even compile the current working version of the source (unchanged since 1994 !!!) because QLiberator is giving me 'Ambiguous name' for all the Easy Pointer 3 stuff (MDRAW, MCLEAR, MWINDOW, MINPUT). Checking the manual, I see that ambiguous name means : quote A name has been used to represent more than one entity. eg as a variable and as a procedure of function. You will also get this error if you try to make an assignment to a function. Programs containing such errors will usually be rejected by the interpreter with a 'bad name' error. unquote All the required assembler routines are present in the correct place, easyptr resident code modules are loaded (PTRMENR_CDE has been LRESPR'd), all the qlib stuff is loaded. I've never had this problem before ! Norman Dunbar EMail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Database/Unix administrator Phone: 0113 289 6265 Lynx Financial Systems Ltd.

Two minutes after sending the email below, I realised that the problem was because I didn't have the easy pointer apendix file for this application loaded in memory. Its been a while :o) Please ignore my previous pleas for help. (again !) Thanks.
