The Sampled Sound System (SSS) in SMSQE allows you to send different

of stereo sound.
This works as expected on the Q40 and Q60 but not on QPC2. In version

On an ordinary QL I can type
f%=-32768/1
and find that f% now contains -32768.
Try this on the current versions of SMSQE (on Q60 or QPC2) and you
get the overflow message.
However,
f%=0-32768/1, and

both work.

SMSQE v 3.12 is a nice advance on previous versions. I especially
like the addition of HISTORY to SBASIC and daughter basics. However,
one file "sbsext_ext_exsbas_asm" cannot be assembled (by any
assembler) because the label "fle_nm" is not defined in the code or
in any of the included file
Has anyone noticed that the system sprites in recent versions of SMSQ/
E for QPC2 do not have Mode 8 versions.
I looked at the move sprite and saw that it consisted of mode 8 and
mode 64 but nothing else. This means that you get a cross instead of
a move sprite for mode 8.

I am sure you are capable of that action. You would know best, so why
ask us?
Or perhaps you mean "May I . . ".

Ah. So "You and I" are not the plural.

Surely you mean '"You and I " are the plural'.

The test version of QPC2 demonstrated at the recent Quanta meeting in
Manchester certainly does run GW

If you:
1. set ram1_test_txt as 'ram1_test_txt'
2. add 140 SUS
