[Ql-Users] Adventure Shell

David Denham's port of the late Tim Hartnell's Adventure Shell is now available to download from the Adventure Games section of my website. Written in BASIC, this is a simple package to help create new adventure games, simply by altering names and descriptions in an easy to edit and well

Thanks Wolf, I'll have a look at those classes. I'm not a huge Java fan, I admit, but I can sort of read it, sometimes. :-) Cheers, Norm. On 14 March 2017 16:13:06 GMT+00:00, Wolf wrote: >Hi, > >SMSQmulator uses it's own driver, not the SMSQE one, for accessing >qxl.win

Thanks guys for the feedback. I'm fully aware and realistic that for QL experts like you, who all developed and maintained their own setups (QXL.win), QL/E is not the 1st choice. In fact QL/E (QLE.win) is a derivate of my own developed QXL.win which I started when I got my first QXL card in the

Re: [Ql-Users] SuQcess now freeware

I agree with Urs. The only possible future for the QL is through cooperation, sharing of software, a growing sense of community and belonging. Otherwise we are doomed to extinction or to become a collector community that owns the computer without being able to use more. Giorgio 2017-03-14 10:30

[Ql-Users] QXLDump utility.

I'm playing with QXL.WIN files, again! As part of something I'm working on, I needed a simple way to examine the internals of a qxl.win file in an easy manner. To this end, QXLDump was born. At the moment I have a download for 64 bit Linux and 32/64 bit Windows only. You can see a sample of my

Re: [Ql-Users] QXLDump utility.

Hi Peter, This utility will be used to allow me to develop, hopefully, a proper tool for creating, writing and reading qxl.win files from the command line, or, a gui. With hopefully being the operative word! Cheers, Norm. On 14 March 2017 13:06:08 GMT+00:00, pg...@q40.de wrote: >On 14 Mar

Thanks Marcel. I had help though, it's not all my own work, John Hall and Daniele Terdina pointed me in various correct directions when I was confused! Cheers, Norm. On 14 March 2017 13:43:17 GMT+00:00, Marcel Kilgus wrote: >Norman Dunbar wrote: >> I'm playing with

Re: [Ql-Users] QXLDump utility.

Hi, SMSQmulator uses it's own driver, not the SMSQE one, for accessing qxl.win drives. There are 4 classes (windriver, windrive, winfile and windir). You could just port those to C++, without too much trouble, I guess. Have fun! Wolfgang On 14/03/2017 14:55, Norman Dunbar wrote: Thanks
