Re: [Ql-Users] The QL got a mention in recent web-articles on "theuntold story of the first British laptop"

I did - it's great, full of typical English muddle-and-make-do and corporate incompetence... with our heros working within (and usually against) the system to produce the laptop that almost never was... Indeed, great article. I don't think I've ever heard of the little machine - this was a very

Re: [Ql-Users] Ql emulation on Raspberrypi

Unfortunately I've no idea what Perl is and no experience of C. Just an old SBASIC user, although years ago I did have an introduction to Coral55. Bryan H On 09/12/2012 03:43, Tony Firshman wrote: Bryan Horstmann wrote, on 9/Dec/12 11:41 | Dec9: Is Python procedure/function based like SBAS

Bryan Horstmann wrote, on 9/Dec/12 11:41 | Dec9: Is Python procedure/function based like SBASIC? Absolutely - like Perl. No line numbers used either. It is ironic that superBasic actually needs none but forces them. Python differs from most similar languages (including Perl and C) in not u

Hi folks, it's a bit silent here nowadays. I hope you are all well if not great and enjoy the pre-Christmas time. Here in snowy Switzerland (see PIC in link below) days are perfect for some QL tinkering. https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=C250D8748980CE5A!4283 Some days ago I stumbl

Saw the Raspberry PI on the BBC Click Programme, showing how simple it was to programme in Python. I was wondering if Python could be ported the QL, then have a Python Library for RPI, this could give some cross platform source code compatiability. regards Derek

[Ql-Users] Ql emulation on Raspberrypi

Hello R-pi guys, I use a 110 char parallel port dot matrix printer with serial and USB convertorsswitched. This works fine on QL Xchange and 3D CAD. SBASIC programs instruct the printer to do just what one needs and I can also manually position the paper if need be, and alter printer settings
