[Ql-Users] Qbase version 1.0

Hi all, After nearly 20 years, here is version 1.00 of QBase. The (hopefully) full list of changes since the 1998 version is in the README file in the zip. Since v0.99, the only new feature is that the page size and scroll size of the tabular view are now CONFIGurable. Other than that, I have

Re: [Ql-Users] Qbase

Hi all, That's very good news about QMenu. Anyway, two people have sent me the correct parameters for FILE_SELECT, and I am coming to the conclusion that version 7.66 ignores the file extension and always shows all files in a directory. The same is not true of a version 5 that I also have. The

Re: [Ql-Users] Qbase

Hi, I believe that the Api has remained pretty stable since v. 7. Wolfgang Yes, but if the API has changed from version to version, then it WILL fail for some users who are using a different version to the one that I am writing for in my program. Therefore linking it seems like a good idea.

Yes, but if the API has changed from version to version, then it WILL fail for some users who are using a different version to the one that I am writing for in my program. Therefore linking it seems like a good idea. Whatever, I will update the program for the latest version and hope for the

Re: [Ql-Users] Qbase

Lots of different programs use Qmenu, so there should be no need to link it in. Its best loaded at boot time. Per On 19 September 2017 at 21:15, Wolfgang Lenerz via Ql-Users < ql-users@lists.q-v-d.com> wrote: > Hi, > > the problem is that these parameters are likely to vary from version to >

Re: [Ql-Users] Qbase

Hi, the problem is that these parameters are likely to vary from version to version, as they are offsets into the file... Your best bet is probably to adapt your program to the latest version. Wolfgang A question about QBase and QMenu. The menu extensions are used fairly extensively in

Re: [Ql-Users] Qbase

Hi all, A question about QBase and QMenu. The menu extensions are used fairly extensively in QBase. However, the program was originally written in 1998 with whatever version of QMenu was current then, and it doesn't seem to work properly with the later version (version 7.66) which is

Re: [Ql-Users] Qbase

Hi all, Here is the new version of QBase. Changes: - Loads in 512x256 resolution, and is resizable. - May be called with a command-line parameter, e.g. ex flp1_Qbase_obj;'flp1_data_dbs' - Lots of refactoring. The eagle-eyed among you may notice that it's a lot smaller than it was. Tested on

Re: [Ql-Users] Qbase

Hi Darren, Not yet. The next release will have the 512x256 compatibility, the rescaling, the paging and the command line parameter. The first two are done, the third is working but needs more work, and the last is still to do. Should take a few days. Rgds, D. On Mon, Sep 11, 2017 at 9:29 PM,

Hi Daniel, Have you released any of your updates yet? Just wondering if they can be tested. Darren Branagh Sent from My Android Phone. On 10 Sep 2017 23:18, "Bob Spelten via Ql-Users" wrote: > Op Sun, 10 Sep 2017 20:19:22 +0200 schreef Daniel Baum via Ql-Users < >

Re: [Ql-Users] Qbase

Hello, Here are some observations from my first investigations of what is going on: - The original DIM statement is no_of_fields-1, no_of_records,20. This results in "Dimensional overflow , you can't be serious!". We have obviously hit some kind of internal limit. - Reducing the string length

Re: [Ql-Users] Qbase

Hi Bob, Since Qbase is essentially untested, other than my own efforts, this is not really surprising. Would it be possible to send me a copy of the database? It would greatly help with debugging to have access to a database that makes the system crash. Rgds, Daniel On Sun, Sep 10, 2017 at

Re: [Ql-Users] Qbase

Hi Daniel, Executing a DBS file with Fileinfo2 is really easy to do. I supplied QBASE on the Q60 software distribution, but QBASE v0.9 did not allow passing of the database filename in the command string. IF you can make QBASE open the database file from a command string, this Which would

Re: [Ql-Users] Qbase

I think the next thing I'm going to add is the ability to be EXecuted with a filename as a command-line parameter. If I understand correctly, this should also mean that you will be able to "execute" a DBS file using QPAC2 and Fileinfo and open it with QBase. D. On Sat, Sep 9, 2017 at 6:22 PM,

Hi David, I produced the Q60 in 2002 and put Qbase on the the software distribution on all cased Q60 machines.  Qbase I thought was really good piece of software. Regards, Derek Original message From: Daniel Baum via Ql-Users Date: 03/09/2017
