Hi Marcel,

I really wanted the manual on Kindle, which was completed prior to the updates 
of the PDF version. 

I may convert the manual to epub or kindle format.

I did think of trying write an ereader for the QL, but never really got off the 
drawing board.

This is really well done, thank you very much Derek. I actually was
halve-way through converting it myself when Wolfgang mentioned Derek
was already on the job, so I stopped. But I know what amount of work

The IOF.FLSH and IOF.CHEK commands are subtly different: IOF.FLSH 
ensures that all write operations are complete, whereas IOF.CHEK ensures 
that all write and read operations (including prefetches) are complete.

Actually all #3 traps are implemented at the discretion of the device
driver, so it's always just a documentation of what they should do,
not necessarily of what they are actually doing ;-)

IOF.FLSH and IOF.CHEK don't make sense for RAM discs, for example,
there is nothing to flush, it's all just in RAM anyway. So they just
say all right, did it and be done with it. I for one don't think
this needs to be mentioned separately.

Hi Derek,
 I have already produced a ODT version in Libre Office, but does not have

 interlinking of the sections.

Could you let me have that?

 It possible to make the corrections to the manual and convert it to HTML

Sure, I think so.

 Would this contravene any copyright?

I really don't believe so. AFAIK, Jochen Merz did give permission for

Hi,

I am wondering if QL version of an Epub text reader is possible.

Epub uses Zip hold all the files with the config files.

A HTML Reader is required, maybe using Prowess HTML Reader or Lynx...

Or maybe write fro scratch in SBASIC which should be fast enough.

 as you stated, there is no entry for D0=$44
 
 I have a look at my hard copy version of SMS Technical Manual. There is no

 I looked in the older QDOS Technical Manual, nothing like IOF.TEST
 
 This is looking like a major fault in the documentation, I suppose the best 
 way to resolve this is to look at the SMSQ/E Sources and determine what the

 Unless anybody knows what IOF.TEST is defined as I will find out and issue an

 All the other $4x trap #3s are defined leaving only $44, which must be
 iof.test

Actually $44 is defined as iof.posv in the sources, but I'd venture a
guess that no driver on earth ever implemented it.

That is great - any contributions to correct errors in the text are of
course welcome, so that they can be incorporated into the free online
version of the manual!

I have nearly finished and corrected some obvious mistakes.

However, there is a little problem in the manual:

Section 5.2 File I/O, Page 3, Last Paragraph:

quote

The IOF.FLSH and IOF.TEST commands are subtly different: IOF.FLSH ensures 
that all write operations are complete, whereas IOF.TEST ensures that all 
write and read operations (including

prefetches) are complete.

/quote

I can not find any reference to IOF.TEST

Should this be IOB.TEST ?
