Re: [Ql-Users] QPC2 and a few more surprises

[Norman Dunbar]

And a couple of the pages have some hand written notes, mine! They may or may 
not be accurate, I can't remember, so take care if you follow them. As far as I 
remember, they refer to loading an index file, which the manual mentions, but 
doesn't explain. 

An index file us what the application uses to determine if this bit of the code 
is data, code,  config block, a pe definition etc. 

Cheers,
Norm.

There is a  manual for Disa v2 on the Assembler page on my website, but I 
don't know how much the program has changed in v3.

I currently use my own monitor/disassembler (MULTIMON) which is also in The
Distribution archive, but with a Dutch manual. I have translated the manual
into English and will put it online asap. I guess it's not as sophisticated
as DISA as it was written in 1986/87; hence no Pointer Interface. On the
upside, I still have the source code so it can still be improved...

Quite frankly, I wasn't sure if it was a bug or a feature. Then I
checked all other ROMs (I thought) and all failed, so went ahead
anyway. But as Wolfgang said, if that is a problem for anybody it can
be reversed without mich effort.

Sounds pretty useful, yes!

Thanks Marcel for maintaining this great software!
Unfortunately I now have to update some code in my SBASIC 'ls' procedure
since it relied on the 'slicing feature' of earlier versions (meaning
"abcd" (5 to) returning empty string). Incidentally, Minerva offered the
same feature (which is also documented) but not the original Sinclair ROMs.
For those of you interested, I wrote this procedure to give a directory
listing like the Unix 'ls' command as I became dissatisfied with the DIR
and WSTAT commands, especially when listing hard subdirectories - I don't
want the full pathnames in front of all file names, and I made the date
format 'smart' so all info could fit in one line. I'll put it on github
when I've done fixing the code.

Thanks Marcel, for giving us the presents.
I Hope you did not forget the birthday girl?

Menu_rext 7.68 was a partial update that eventually lead to v8.
It had an unfinished SYS_SELECT$ that can list Stuffer data, Jobs or  
Things, depending on a given flag. Jochen wrote about this in QL Today  
v8i6/37.
RSTR has options to validate the type of string: numeric, integer,  
password etc.

v8 added Move-menu options where they were not before.
Also a Timeout was added to some menus.
LSEL no longer cuts titles longer than the list-items.
VIEW & FSEL have options to set a size smaller then the parent outline.
Some of these changes were made at my request by Jochen at the last  
Eindhoven meeting back in 2008.

Menu_rext was already free for QPC2 for a few years, so there was a
special version for it, now it's free for all.

I have no idea, 7.66 is the last version I have the source for. But
I'll ask Bernd Reinhardt when I get the chance.

Hi Marcel,

I recently update QD and Jochen supplied Mneu_Rext v7.68, which worked 
OK on QPC2, but on SMSQmulator or other SMSQ/E platforms cwould not load 
and gave an error message: "Only Licensed For Use on QPC".


Jochen did not seem to remember, I wonder if you know why this was 
written  only for QPC2?

Version 7.66 is the last that works well with QDT, version 8.02 has some
changes in the API which QDT does not cope.
