Because there is no order for evaluating the first and the second condition in 
the AND operation,
In any way both have to be without any errors.

FALSE AND ERROR is FALSE ? That cannot be !
FALSE AND ERROR has to be ERROR !!!

Am 12.01.2013 16:41, schrieb Urs Koenig (QL):

On today's date 29 years ago Sinclair Research launched the Sinclair QL
professional computer. On January 12th 1984 - exactly 12 days earlier than
Steve Jobs launched the Apple Macintosh - Sir Clive Sinclair and Nigel
Searle presented the QL to the world in a Hollywood-style launch event at
the Hotel Inter Continental in London.

As I remember, after that, QL was not available for a long time...
Do you know - just for fun - when the first QLs were puchased to normal 
people and when the first Apple Macintosh were ?


I remember also, the price of a QL was about 16.900 österreichische 
Schillings at the begin...
I bought my first QL about 10 month later for 9.000 ÖS, one month later 
a frend of mine and I bought 3 more QLs (at 5.000 ÖS each - 2 where for 
me) as I was a fan of the network capabilities of QLs :)


As I made a questionary for the QL-Frends of Vienna about 1 year later, 
there where about 100% having more than 1 QL :))

No - the microdrive cartridges were 68K/OS format so Urs was unable to

You would need to transfer them out of the 68K/OS microdrive 
cartridges and environment  somehow - I have no idea how. Plus of 
course it would be necessary to find a way of getting them back into 
the 68K/OS environment, or at least a hack to the QemuLator demo to 
allow 68K/OS to read MDV image files or a QLPAK somehow.

What's about networking ?

I mean QL-networking of course: one QL running with 68K/OS another one 
with QDOS - may be they are compatible in this way - if not, have a try 
with a SER-connection (68KQL to QDOSQL or 68KQL to some computer with a

I have now received an email back from Gerry Jackson - he has

That was Helmut Aigner, professor of englisch hier in Vienna/Austria

Thanks - I was afraid that might be the case.

The nearest I came to being able to fix this was to use the extra
parameters of the WTV and WMON commands on QPC2 to move the basic
windows out of the way instead:

WTV ,32,256
WMON ,0,256

One day, I might search for '512' and '256' in the binary of QLib and
see if these can be patched if they are really hard coded... :-(


Nearly all things in QLib's Frontend are done under SuperBASIC. There 
is one keyword for the Outline (necessary), built in QLib's inbuilt 
extension code, one to activate the pointer in a loop to detect, where 
the ponter is on screen for selecting the items. All loose items, 
their select/unselect colors and little borders are done under 
SuperBASIC. A clever little toolkit for small applications (if one 
knows how to use it). Other keywords (like REL_A6) seem to be used for 
generating the compiled code .


Perhaps the SuperBASIC pointer loop detects, if 512x256 is reached, 
remind the time, where QLib was written. If it is done in SuperBASIC, 
it would be very difficulty to find these locations. If it is done in 
the MC procedure for activating the pointer, it is possiblemaybe.

Hi to all,

don´t forget the International QL-Meeting 2010 in my home-country Austria 
(Thursday 3rd to Sunday 6th of june 2010). The event is organized by Gerhard Plavec and I 
am sure, that it will be a great and interesting meeting. (Infos: http://kuel.org/)

I have two news for the meeting:

First: Thanks to Daniele Terdina I am allowed to show a Beta-version of the 
forthcoming Qemulator for MacOSX! I think this is great news for all 
MacOSX-users in the QL-world (like me;-)), as the emulator looks very 
promising, even in Beta-stage.

Secondly: If all goes well I will shortly be proud owner of a Q40-system (thanks to Rich Mellor and Derek Steward, who tries to fix the board at the moment) and will show it on the QL-Meeting, too. 

Hopefully this will interest more people in real QL-hardware. You know that I started a little initiative for a new production-run of Q60s. Although it isn´t 100% sure, that there will a last production run (some parts of the Q60 are hard to find in the meantime and Derek would have to solder and test all boards alone, which is a huge task) there is still hope for new Q60s. 


See you in Austria!

Hi all austrian visitors :)

We already voted too and look forward to this event.
Great that Gerhard (and Anton, as far as I'm aware) went ahead and
plan the show :-)

Yes, I remember that July and August (the main travel dates) were not 
so good for shows as this is the main travel season, so hotels are 
expensive, everything is full and crowded and so on.

Also, some visitors might have their real holidays somewhere else,
so that might clash.

I'd prefer June for this reason and voted for this option - as early 
as possible. Even end of May, beginning of June - if that would be 
possible - would be fine for us.
As you know (or not), I like robots beside of computers - I just learned 
that the Eurobot-event (look at eurobot.org - www.swisseurobot.ch) 
takes place end of mai 2010 in Rapperswil (Switzerland), so it is ok for 
me to have the QL-meeting in june...


Looking at the votings, we are ready to have our QL-meeting in june:

Do you have some preferencies ? (friday+WE or WE+monday or no WE at all ?)
I have no calendar with Feiertag church festival/bank holiday ?
Thank you for telling me, if you have a particular liking

Re: [Ql-Users] Web Emulator

[Gerhard Plavec]

Has anyone looked at producing a version of a QL emulator in Java - 
with the popularity of the QL Wiki continually increasing, it is good 
to see it getting high ratings on google when searching for programs.  
It is also helping to attract more people back to the QL, judging by 
the sales on my website and ebay - I listed a boxed QL on ebay the 
other day, and over 80 people are watching it, with its price 
currently at over £80 !!


What is really missing from the QL Wiki, is the ability to see what 
the QL Software actually does.


I have tested and got the majority of software working on q-emulator, 
and what we ideally would need would be a link on the page for each 
piece of software to a Java based emulator which would allow you to 
run each item of software, for say, a maximum of 2 minutes at a time, 
so that people could try each title out.


Is there anyone willing and able to write such an emulator ?


You mean something like this
http://www.vavasour.ca/jeff/ts1000/index.html

Yeah, would be cool :)

[Ql-Users] Any working examples... ?

[Gerhard Plavec]

WHAOOW that's a precise answer :)

Can you or someone else do the same with some S*BASIC lines reading a 
file down the TCP/IP stack or connection ?

Something like :

COPY TCP_www.kilgus.net TO ram1_some_file_from_internet

because with what is written in the manual of QPC2v3

--xSchnipp
From version 3.30 on QPC possesses TCP/IP capabilities in form of the 
TCP, UDP and SCK devices. For this
it relies on the Windows TCP/IP stack, so if applications like the 
Internet Explorer can access the net QPC can

do it, too.
This manual won't go into the details of the interface, however, as the 
interface is mostly compatible to the

uQLx implementation all documentation for that is also valid for QPC.
--xSchnapp

I can do nothing !
Perhaps someone can make a copy/paste of the part of doc of uQLx 
explaining this point

Or at least give me a link where I can find the uQLx doc

Re: [Ql-Users] Any working examples... ?

[Gerhard Plavec]

Waow once more :)

I am very sorry missing your eMail 3 years ago :)
It is really working - not perfect... but a good entry point - why 
didn't you print this example in your manual ?
Any way... it shows that internet is much much more complicated as it 
seams :-(   browsers are very hard workers :))


Thank you for the doc (mirrored), I learned a lot today :)

Can you or someone else do the same with some S*BASIC lines reading a
file down the TCP/IP stack or connection ?
Something like :

COPY TCP_www.kilgus.net TO ram1_some_file_from_internet



Unfortunately it's not as simple as that. In order to get a page from
an HTTP server, you have to speak the HTTP protocol. You want more
something like that:

100 OPEN_IN#3,tcp_www.qltoday.com:80
110 PRINT#3,GET / HTTP/1.1
120 PRINT#3,User-Agent: QPC browser
130 PRINT#3,Accept: */*
140 PRINT#3,host: qltoday.com
150 PRINT#3
160 REPeat
170   INPUT#3,a$:PRINT a$
180 END REPeat

(Took out of my own mail to ql-users 3 years ago. I don't have more
like that either)

  

Perhaps someone can make a copy/paste of the part of doc of uQLx
explaining this point
Or at least give me a link where I can find the uQLx doc



The official uQLx docu seems to have gone the way of the Dodo. I put
up a mirror copy on

Re: [Ql-Users] QPC2 and direct sector access

[Gerhard Plavec]

Yo :)
then it's some sort of miracle. Usually I do know what my code can 
do and what not.

The generally used name for this sort of miracle would be bug :))
Usually more code a programmer is generating, more miracles can be 
discovered...
In very rare cases a bug can be used as a feature - that then is 
real miracle :)


This implies that every program contains a miracle (since no program 
is bug-free)!
Often it's a real miracle when the written code does what the programmer 
wanted... but may be that's onely a bug :)

Re: [Ql-Users] ql-mac Lucerne show

Hohoho,

I think it is a little more complicated as english and german 
prononciation are not the same:


If you mean haha in german and write it so, an english guy will read hehe

As I know Tony I think when he writes hehe, we german people would hear 
hihi
but if you write hihi, in english it will sound like heyhey: not 
really laughing...


So smeylies were invented :) ;-) :-D (c:

Re: [Ql-Users] Turbo Help Please

[Gerhard Plavec]

Hi Duncan :)

 9472  FOR i=1 TO  scrolls

=Beginning of the loop

 9474Dev_Scroll_down
 9476IF dv_start=1 :END FOR  i

=End of the loop

 9478  END FOR i

Here you have one more end of a loop (whitch never was beginning...)
so parser has a big problem dupicate label !!?!

 9480END IF

Wolfgang and some other guys are right, in line 9476 you have to use 
NEXT i or EXIT i instead of END FOR i

Have much fun further debuging

Re: [Ql-Users] Turbo Help Please

[Gerhard Plavec]

In original SuperBASIC some (dubious) programm like

IF a=b then
   FOR i=a TO b STEP 0.1
ELSE
   FOR i=a TO b STEP -0.1
ENDIF
...
more commands
...
END FOR i

may run without any problem...
But if you try to compile (Turbo or Liberator) some parser error will 
appear...

you have to write something like

FOR i=a TO b STEP sign(b-a)*0.1
...
END FOR i

Give more information, so perhaps someone can help...

Re: [ql-users] QPC on a Nokia Series 60?

[Gerhard Plavec]

 You cannot use the phone and bluetooth functions but it remains a
 programmable PDA with photo
 and video-camera :)
 You can read and answer all the eMails, MMS and SMS you got before
 switching to the plane mode
 to be ready sending them exiting plane or hospital...
 You have a better phone than I.  I cannot use my phone without enabling
 the transmitter.
 What phone have you that allows this to be turned off?

http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=111620

 Mind you I don't fancy your chances persuading the officials that it is
 not a phone (8-)#

As turning off an on the phone mode is onely one little click, may be they'll think I 
am a
terrorist...
But nowadays they may think anyone is a terrorist even if he has no phone at all (c:

No phones on planes are dangerous... planes are (c:

Re: Re: [ql-users] QPC on a Nokia Series 60?

[Gerhard Plavec]

 Imagine the xchange suite running on your mobile phone, or the like of
 quascade and the PE on a mobile.. using the joystick on the phone to
 control the pointer drool!! Not to mention being able to tinker on the
 way into work on the train!!

 Marcel, if you are so Java opposed, how big a job would it be to port QPC
 to the phone using C/C++ ?

Better compile uQLx or QemuLator for that purpose...

I am interested (my phone - a Motorola A925 - uses Symbian) but not experienced in 
compiling
C/C++   :-(

Someone can give some  hints ?

Re: [ql-users] QL Network link QL -- PC possible?

[Gerhard Plavec]

 File transfer via floppy disk is my current alternative, but looks like that
 is not too reliable - maybe due to the fact that I do not have 'real' 3.5
 DD disks but rather HD disks formatted as DD. The QL's disk drive apparently
 does not have problems with them but QPC2 doesn't recognize DD formatted HD
 disks unless I close the HD hole with adhesive tape. Marcel, I guess the
 program has a good reason to primarily look for the disk's hardware marker
 (hole)  rather than its actual formatting?

Some drives recognize the hole by light-sensor some other by a switch...
so your adhesive tape may be opac an closing the hole on both sides !

 When I close the HD hole on the disk then the QL sometimes reports read
 errors with files written on the PC's disk drive. I assume my QL's disk
 drive is not sick, because it never has problems with disks that are only in
 use on that drive all the time.

I had a lot of good running but not compatible drives :-(

Another point : always format HD-disks in DD-format onely with the DD-drive !!!
Use onely fresh formatted-disks to make transfer and do not use files on them for long 
time...

 Is it possible that data exchange between DD and HD drives is in principle
 unsafe beacuse of something like different magnetic ... whatever ...
 behavior?

HD-heads are smaller than DD-heads : that's the source of most of problems.

 Greetings!

 Michael

So long

Re: [ql-users] README_TXT

[Gerhard Plavec]

 Hello Folks!

 Here is another simple question:
 How can I quick and dirty create a text file under QDOS?

 I think of something equivalent to MS_DOS:

 COPY CON README.TXT
 mary had a little lamb
 bla bla bla
 ^Z

 Used this a lot to write notes such as start addresses, commands, findings
 etc. The disk with the prog itself is always a better plyce for notes than
 some sheet of paper.

 Tried copy con_ to flp1_readme_txt but after that my input prompt was
 gone. CTRL + Z didn't finish the command either.
 Would be glad if someone gave me a hint...


 Regards

 Michael

Simply make a break (ctrl-space) after ctrl-z so file will be written and input will be
channel#0

regards
Gerhard

Re: [ql-users] README_TXT

[Gerhard Plavec]

 Thank you all for your comments.

 Just tried on the real QL, something such as

 copy con_ to ram1_test
 the magic number is 27314

 CTRL + Space

 afterwards I can see the text file using the TK2 command VIEW.
 The only thing I miss is input echo, I have to type blindly (and as all of
 you know the QL keyboard is somewhat §$%?(/#)
 Is there a way to perform such an action with input echo turned on?

Simply enter 1 REM ...and your text...
then SAVE file (enter NEW fist to be sure there is no programm loaded)

A better way is to use EDIT (TK2) or - of course - another text editor

Best for very short text is : SAVE ram1_the magic number is 27314

 This experiment suggests QDOS does not need an EOF character (which IIRC is
 not a char that sits there as a byte of the file but is rather a command to
 close the file under MSDOS)

You need CTRL-z onely with : COPY con_ to ser1z

 In case the file would not have been properly closed on the disk - does QDOS
 or TK2 have an utility to check for the integrity of a disk (something
 comparable to CHKDSK from the MSDOS world)?

Problems by not properly closed files is a typically windoof problem... oops... 
feature :)
Such problems are rare with QDOS (microdrives not included :)

Best regards
Gerhard
