Have a good time at Manchester. I am leaving for USA tomorrow. Roy, I think you use ADSL with a fixed IP address. If so leave your machine on, and set up TightVNC server with a suitable password. URL:http://www.tightvnc.com/download.html You can then use any internet connection to log on with tightvnc viewer using your IP address. You will then get a window with your home machine screen. It is sensible to set your home machine to the same screen resolution or lower than your laptop. You will then be able to use your home machine anywhere from your laptop or internet cafe. Both the server and viewer come with the download. Set up the server on your home machine and copy the viewer to your laptop. During installation check the boxes 'install as service' and 'launch vnc server'. You will then be prompted to enter a password. Make sure that someone calls in - and then set your firewall to accept these VNC connections. ... or manually add the relevant programs to the allowed list. We will be setting up a free internet connection at the US show next Saturday (wifi 802.11b/g and direct RJ45 cable) I have this system set up on my main windows machine here and am able to do _everything_ I can do at home (except use CDs or press the power button!). -- QBBS (QL fido BBS 2:252/67) +44(0)1442-828255 tony@surname.co.uk http://www.firshman.co.uk Voice: +44(0)1442-828254 Fax: +44(0)1442-828255 TF Services, 29 Longfield Road, TRING, Herts, HP23 4DG ___ QL-Users Mailing List

Dinner 7.30 for 8.00pm Sunday 10.00 am - AGM time TBA A reminder to all Quanta members If you do not attend the AGM, who will hear your opinions?? I am sorry to say myself, Diana and Arnold Clarke cannot attend, the journey and cost was to much. The Tulip Inn only delivered their brochure today which we had asked for weeks ago. It revealed (to late) that they have weekend breaks for 45 pounds per night rather than the advertised 70 pounds price. Central Trains, who my past experience has found to be the worst railway operator in East Anglia, had short trains, this meant no cheap seats. At the AGM could someone raise the point about the thinness of Quanta magazine, however I do support the magazine. Hope you all have a lovely time, do not forget to see the reconstruction of the SSEM (the first real computer) at the Manchester Museum of Science Industry, I am envious. -- Tarquin Mills ACCUS (Anglia Classic Computer Users Society) http://www.speccyverse.me.uk/comp/accus/ ___ QL-Users Mailing List

Wolfgang Lenerz writes: So - any ideas? Set bit #30 to indicate that the keys given in 16..19 have shifted to bits 24..27, that way wed at least be covered until 32-bit colour arrives... Or better, perhaps, set some bits between 24 and 30 to indicate that the scan colour of a mode keyed in those bits is to be found in an additional register, the meaning of the remaining keys being the same. Provided that the legacy trap code ignores those bits, and that no programmer has stored any other information in those bits, this upgrade would be transparent. Per ___ QL-Users Mailing List

[ql-users] Tony - US Show
Sorry guys, but need to borrow this to get a message to Tony before he leaves. Tony, the hub I was planning to bring is not functional so I won't have a hub with me. I will bring the long ethernet cable plus a shorter one. Hopefully this catches you in time to pack a hub along. See you (and everyone else coming to the US show) next weekend!
