Compiling, especially with Turbo, adds speed.

The fun part is, when the program finishes consuming all the memory,
FREE_MEM actually goes negative, to -512, and the program manages 20 more
loops before generating an out of memory error.
This is probably because SBasic has already reserved space for itself
before the available memory

Hi Geoff,
I agree with most of what you say, apart from keeping the Term of Office
feature.
A new version of GWASS is now available from my website http://gwiltprogs.com/
This allows the input of octal numbers by using the prefix AT (@).
Thus 46 can now be entered as one of:
46
$2E
@56

I have a large number of files stored on the hard disk of a Q40
(original version) with two floppy drives: - loads of interesting stuff
like Mark Knight's Fractal program. I wish to transfer this to a
computer on which I use QPC2. Can anyone suggest a way of doing
this? Doing this via HD

Peter,
I'm afraid it's yet not possible to do SER to USB. There is only one
Ser-USB prototype in existence at the moment, and the File Manager software
(which would allow this to happen without the need for a special driver) has
not been tested with such large volumes of data. Anyway, I'm not

As I think was mentioned in another posting here, that link isn't working at

In the original QL if you typed PRINT What is the answer to life the
universe and everything ? [return]
you get the * as a response
which is CHR$(42), I always found that funny
(actually PRINT any undefined variable produces the same effect but it use
to impress some of my D.A. friends)
Available from a variety of sources through Amazon in white and black,
cheapest at £158, downloaded ReactOs and ran the iso as a live CD on my
laptop, it loads up pretty fast considering but there were issues with not
seeing any drives as a USB extension and it would not see any files at all

If we had 12 digits, we'd probably have 12 fingers as well.
That's 20% faster typing we had 20% more software for the QL

Evening,
Has anyone solved this problem? Have I missed something in back issues
of Quanta Mag or QLT?
IF file format = qxl.win
AND you run Mac, Linux or Windows
AND you got QT Creator from www.trolltech.com
AND you have subversion
THEN you can click this link:
