Re: [ql-users] SMSQE in ROM
Hallo Marcel, (...) Actually, pretty soon now, we miught have a probem with SMSQ/E for the Qx0, at least in ROM. The Rom is only 256 KB long, and we're pretty near that limit now. Then this has to be dealt with sooner or later anyway, don't you think? Not by me, of course, QPC is long past 256 kb ;- In this case a ZIP file with a library of finished designs might be useful enough, too, of course. Also den letzten Satz habe ich jetzt überhaupt nicht verstanden. ? Viele Grüsse, Wolfgang www.scp-paulet-lenerz.com ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

Re: [ql-users] smsq gold
In message [EMAIL PROTECTED], Dilwyn Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes I seem to have got myself into a bit of a muddle. First, I manage to destroy a QL+RomDisq with a corrupt copy of smsq_gold 3.06 (revived with romd214_exe) and now I can't get 256 colour mode to work on the Aurora. Is the same smsq-gold v3.06 used for 256 colour on Aurora or is there a separate version for Aurora? DISP_TYPE will change resolution on the Aurora/SGC (a MinisQL) but DISP_COLOUR 2 is ignored and configuring it to start in 256 colour mode seems to make it lock up at a black screen. If a separate version is needed, fine, just thought that as both machines had Gold Card and SuperGold Card I thought I'd try the Gold Card version which seems to run as long as the Aurora stays in QL colour modes. Not having the best of days today, the PC is behaving and the QLs ain't. Somewhat unuusal in this household. Now now - SMSQ_Gold colour version is the right one for Aurora - but are you sure you have the colour version of SMSQ/e Dilwyn - here we go back to the moans that there is no way of telling one from the other... Otherwise, you might need the guide on setting up the Aurora hardware for high colours which Phoebus put together. No I am not certain. All I am certain of is that it's SMSQ_GOLD v3.06. It probably ain't the colours version as DISP_COLOUR 2 does nothing it seems. Does DISP_COLOUR 3 work OK ? -- Malcolm Cadman ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

Though data loss in a LAN should be near nil anyway. TCP is a connection based protocol. The two partners first establish a connection and when a station sends data it can be sure that it will arrive intact and in the right order at the other end.

If you have two machines running QPC2 and connected by ethernet why not just map the drives so they have a letter and then use that letter as one of the QXL.WIN files ? I have done it like this for ages. I believe Marcel has even made it possible for two machines to access the same file although I have not tried it. No, it can't. UDPNet, on the other hand, could do this. Plus, it is a native solution and is basically cross-plattform. If Q40 had IP support, it could be used to sync QPC and Q40. OTOH the more I know about the SERNet/UDPNet code, the less I like it. It probably should be rewritten from scratch (and use TCP instead of UDP). But this is not exactly a minor task. Which is possible already if you run uQLx on the Q40 Linux, then connect via network to a QPC :-) qlwIP will support UDP so the same will be obtainable natively as well AFAIK Ffibys ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
