Hi all, I solved the problem with the EasyPtr window. It turned out to be my own misunderstanding of the need for an OUTLN. It now works fine when compiled in Q-Liberator with -WINDS turned off. I can also run it from Superbasic, after messing with windows sizes. Perhaps I can run it from an

Hi Norman, I (apparently) wrote this about 20 years ago. This has reminded me that the idea was to write some kind of debugger for superbasic, but I really don't remember how it worked. You're right of course about local variables. Perhaps my experience with programming since I wrote this will

Hi DIlwyn, To be honest, I do not remember writing either of those, and I have no idea what they do (although "clock" sounds pretty obvious...). In principle, I have no objection to anything I wrote being made available, however I would like to have a look at them first to do a bit of QA before
