Re: [Ql-Users] SMSQmulator

Hi all, v 1.05 is on the Website. Apart from bugfixes, this allows you to hide the menu bar (type the basic command "JVAMBAR" to get it back). Could somebody confirm that Prowess is working ok in this version? Thanks Wolfgang ___ QL-Users Mailing

Re: [Ql-Users] Caps Lock

Yes, Wolfgang, have read that tonight. A shame. But isn't "doesn't work everwhere" somewhat better than "not implemented"? You're probabbly right, but I'm going to get complaints "why does it work there but not here...". I'll see what I can do and mention it in the manual. Wolfgang _

Re: [Ql-Users] SMSQmulator

Hi John, Thanks for pointing these out. There seem to be some problems with the Config menu of the "final" version of V1.03: 1) The Time Correction item seems to invoke the Double Window Size routine. Fixed in 1.04. 2) The WIN drive warnings settings in the .INI file are not reflected in

Re: [Ql-Users] SMSQmulator

Hi all, my internet troubles seem to be over. The smsqe and SMSQmulator sites are. I've updated SMSQmulator to the final version of v 1.03. This now reads and writes Q-emulator style headers with the SFA device. There might ba a speed increase when writing to the screen. It is possible to ha
