Hi Wolfgang, > Hmm, I always thought there was only one remaining user under java 8. I'm sure there would be several more, if you didn't hide the Java 8 version from the public ;-) Your Java 8 version runs like a charm, nicely supports 32 bit machines, and can live with a compact JRE engine instead of the huge JDK. Java 8 is still maintained and the official, most recent JRE available from Oracle. Especially on my older Laptop and Raspberry, I much prefer this version. Peter ___ QL-Users Mailing List

Re: [Ql-Users] SMSQmulator 3.00
Hi, Since java went modular (Java 9 I guess or a bit later), I believe stand-alone JRE download was removed as a separate download from Oracle, with argument that JDK provides JRE, and modular nature "encourages" to build your own JRE using jlink tool "if needed and with required functionality". Nevertheless, since OpenJDK became kinda an "official" java JDK (and maybe due to licence issues between java 8 to I think 17, when Oracle was charging for their own JDK) some of "distributions" became available (maybe some events are not accurate, but oh well...). Microsoft build is likely same OpenJDK rebuild for easy download and installation. Nevertheless, there's JRE available from some of them, one I would recommend to try is eclipse temurin https://adoptium.net/temurin/releases/?os=windows.

Re: [Ql-Users] SMSQmulator
As my uninspiring maths teacher used to say, "You're right: No question is too dumb to ask. But you may be too dumb to understand the answer"! So theres that.. I dont know that any version of Java is installed in Windows by default, but anyway, mine was an "upgrade" from W10 and Java 8 was already installed. I dont want the whole JDK (Im at the end of my month's broadband quota). So am I to understand that JDK17 includes Java runtime V11? If so then Oracle's version system is even more screwed up than mine! 8, 11, 17..? Anyway, I found my way to the V11 runtime, but now they want me to sign up to be able to download it!! I never used to have to do that before. I may revert to V8 if theyll still allow me to download it without an account. If not, Im not sure what I'll do..

Re: [Ql-Users] SMSQmulator 2.30
Hi Wolfgang, It appears that most of the library files are missing in the Java 8 .zip file. SMSQmulator refused to start and gave an 'INI file error' on the Java 8 version. I could fix this by copying the files in the lib directory from the Java 11 version. A more serious bug is that the tcp device now doesn't appear to work. When I tried to start QBOX as telnet server it failed to open the tcp channel with a 'not found' message. Using tcp as client also failed. Could it be that implementing udp support has broken the tcp device? Regards, Jan.

Hi, With help from Wolfgang and some googling on my own there are now two different solutions to this problem. Wolfgang supplied me with a new smsqmulator which was able to keep up, and I found the programming manual to the scanner family on the net which enabled me to reduce its typing speed.

Kjartan uQlx makes no attempt to emulate a keyboard. It just directly fills the QDOS input buffers. Graeme And that's fine - SMSQmulator on the other hand doesn't keep up.. I'm curious, how does uqlx handle multiple keystrokes such as CTRL+ALT+Shift + left?

Re: [Ql-Users] SMSQmulator 2.25
Great! Im particularly pleased that many of the differences in behaviour between SMSQmulator and QPC2 have been ironed out! That means that programmers dont have to write separate versions, or include fiddly workarounds, in their programs. They run identically on both platforms. Amazingly, this also includes some lower-level stuff, such as accessing many host platform facilities - at least where they both run under Windoze. Am I right in thinking that ound has also improved? The great thing about SMSQmulator is that we now have an SMSQ/E platform that will run on just about any host that supports Java - both now and in the foreseeable future. Many people, me included, didnt see the point, when Wolfgang first suggested the idea, back in 2010, in Vienna. But he has proved his point! This is now a very usable, stable, and mature product. Thanks Wolfgang! Im sure having fun!

QDT loads fairly quickly. If the GPIO port can be programmed in SBASIC, as mentioned in an earlier email. It is becoming a via solution.

Hi, I use SMSQmulator on a Fujitsu Celcius H700 Core i7, with 4Gb ram, using Linux with Java 8. The whole system runs perfect. The only problem I have is the screen resolution of the hardware is too high, so I have double the screen window, which solves this. I have a Pi B & Pi B+, which I use RISC OS and RetroPI.

Thank you. It's in the non-free component of the Raspbian repositories. I just installed it, and SMSQmulator runs remarkably faster. I tested the BogoMIPS (Raspberry Pi 2): SMSQmulator 7216: 5.50, 5.57, 5.53, 5.14, 5.58... SMSQmulator 8216: 5.62, 5.62, 5.56, 5.06, 5.64... That's much faster than open-jdk 7, I'm impressed. I wonder if this way SMSQmulator would be usable also on Raspberry Pi B. -- Marcos Cruz http://programandala.net ___ QL-Users Mailing List

Thanks. Done. I run it several times, and got 2.61, 2.60, 2.61, 2.61... -- Marcos Cruz http://programandala.net ___ QL-Users Mailing List
