Re: [Ql-Users] Why so slow?

It could depend on a couple of things I should imagine: a) Whether the win file is fragmented on your PC's hard disk b) Whether the win file is full so each write it has to be extended first to make room c) The size of your swap file on the PC and how that is being used (again that may be

[Ql-Users] Why so slow?

Hi, Why is writing to WIN device so slow compared to writing to RAM and DOS device? Converting a 500KB DBF-file (dbase3/foxbase) DBS-file from dos1_ 1) to RAM1_ less than 15 sec. 2) to DOS1_ less than 20 sec. 3) to WIN2_ more than 25 MINUTES Why such a huge difference? François Van

Re: [Ql-Users] EASYPTR4 - Minimum menu size

Per, with all the various possible screen sizes on modern QL systems, it is pretty easy to define a menu that will not fit onto everyone else's screen. I *guess* Giorgio wants to have a function that will theck whether an arbitrary menu will fit on a given screen resolution (If you would for
