Likewise, programs written on a QL using these commands have a good chance of being able to run under SMSQ/E. - And it may even be found genuinely useful in programs only intended for the QL itself! At present the commands included are: SUSJB- Suspend a job JOBID- Return my job ID OUTLN- Create a "managed" window (Requires PE!) QUIT - Quit program with optional error code ERT - Terminate program if error SCR_XLIM - Get screen x-maximum SCR_YLIM - Get screen y-maximum SCR_BASE - Get screen base address SCR_LLEN - Number of bytes between rows on screen DISP_TYPE- Display type 0, 2, 16, 32, 33 FDEL - Delete a file with error return (I hope the table above remains readable!) Only the simplest, most common usage of these commands are implemented. And some of them are just duds (eg all the SCR_XXX commands merely return fixed values) as this toolkit is only meant to be loaded on an actual QL (or exact QL emulator). It is intended to be compact (presently 732 b), but if anyone has any suggestions as to whether any important commands have been left out, Id like to hear. There are some other compatibility toolkits on Knoware.no/htm/toolkits.htm#compatibility, so check those out first. Keep your noses to the grinding-wheel, y'all! Per ___ QL-Users Mailing List

Ie they werent written with sharing in mind, but have worked for me, in some cases for years, without issue. Many of you will no doubt have produced your own solutions, but possibly not everyone, or there may be gaps,.. Well, I wrapped mine up, added some written description, and present them to those who might want some shiny new toys for Christmas. Yes, it is a bit like putting lipstick on a pig, but I hope you enjoy them all the same! Here is the lowdown: > Updated and expanded Library: Sources now included. Replace old libraries with this update! > Updated VLS. Variables Load & Save. Bulk-load assorted array and scalar variables. Now with source code included. > Added Minimize, a minimize button for fullscreen QPC2 and SMSQmulator. > Added Bcc, a tool for dyslecix assembler coders(!) > Added Caps, a Capsloack indicator button. > Added NoTab, a tool for QD to make compressed files temporarily readable. > Added LCMP, to compare unsigned long words - and some eschatological musings on dates and the End of Time.. > Added QLTet, a simple Tetris-like game. > Added Snowfall, a "screen saver" type program.
