Re: [ql-users] qdt/qpc;
Bill, Just thinking about your problem. Are you installing the release version or one of the demo versions? If a demo version, which one? If About doesn't tell you from the QDT icon, that will tell me what I need to know. Thanks, jim ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

About 20 mins after sending this I realised that dot backslash is probably
not necessary, as dos looks in the current diectory by default if no path
is given. So I tried removing it, and it still works. The crucial bit is
to put the win file in the same folder as qpc2.exe, so dos can do its
default duty.
I have found it necessary in the past to use dot backslash, and have been
trying to remember when. I think it was when 'adjusting' some HTML - some
web page software creates its own default subdirectories.

Subject: [ql-users] QPC on a Stick
I thought it might be nice to have a QPC setup on a USB flashdrive. Here's
what I did
1 plugged in the flashdrive (16M Smartmedia in a reader/writer)
2 formatted it
3 copied the QPC folder (default: c:\windows\program files\QPC2 ) and
contents onto the flashdrive
4 copied the win file (default: c:\Qxl.win ) into the QPC2 folder on the
flashdrive
5 opened this folder, run QPC2.EXE to show the configuration dialogue
6 opened 'devices' and set win1 to .\win1 ie dot backslash filename
7 Saved it, and create a shortcut to QPC2 .exe outside the folder, for
neatness.
dot backslash is dosspeak for ' look in the current directory'. It isn't
listed in any of the dos manuals I've got, although dot dot backslash is.
('look in parent directory' ) Anyway it works and means you can plug the
drive in to any suitable windows PC and need not tell qpc the absolute
address for each PC.
This flashdrive setup has worked in XP pro, Win2000pro, Win98.

I thought women preferred men to be faithfull to one, not several at a time?
'Go forth and multitask.' Could probably rewrite the Ten Commandments, Noah's
edicts and much of the Bible based on that. "The Bible according to QLer Ken

I was surprised that there had been no comment re. the special resolutions - I think that the new clauses 5.3 - 5.6 are a very bad idea and will be voting against the resolution.

NT3.5 and 4.0 will not work as it doesn't support USB devices 'naturally' - although there might be a driver somewhere for it.
