Re: Problem with parameter to a SuperBASIC machine code extension


In compiled code and SBASIC the location of keywords are converted to fixed addresses in the code. So no looking through the Nametable .

Do you mean the NAME LIST ?

IMHO it is so to find the code for a BASIC name:

Look in Name List if the name already exists.

If not create a new entry for the ...

Re: Problem with parameter to a SuperBASIC machine code extension

I must correct myself. Fetching the string directly via the nametable->variables values area is faster than fetching it with CA.GTSTR, but not much.

I have now started to implement the missing function for my reflection toolkit and fetch the string with CA.GETSTR. To test that the fetching is ...

Re: Archive revisited

Archives programming language was later developed to OPL Organiser (this was the original name!) Programming Language. Published with their legendary Pockets like PSION 3/5.

Thanks for this link! I have immediately added it to my bookmarks.

p.s. (especially for me): Must backup them, too many for which I haven't a backup :‑(

Re: Vote: Who has PE_BGON ON (PIE/PEX) in its standard boot program?

Sorry Per,

but here it was the other way round. When I used SMSQ/E (on Marcels QPC2) for the first time, PE_BGOFF has had been the default. I have had even asked, if it's possible to use PIE (or PEX from hpr) with SMSQ/E just to hear that on SMSQ/E PE_BGON does the same. Similar is true for Boris ...

Re: Vote: Who has PE_BGON ON (PIE/PEX) in its standard boot program?


NO

What is this for?

If you enter PE_BGON in QPC2 (or install/LRESPR pie or pex in your Minerva boot program), program windows which are in the background will be updated (only their visible parts), as on the Amiga. (Amiga was the first affordable machine, which supports this, all other ...

Re: Vote: Who has PE_BGON ON (PIE/PEX) in its standard boot program?


No.

You can easily set up a survey here in the forum instead of asking for reply messages with yes or no.

Thanks Peter,

can you please explain, what I must do, to setup such a survey here (never did such a thing in any social media)? (Perhaps create a new chat in General)

p.s.: But it seems ...

Re: Online Emulator (of THIS forum) is really GREAT!

Oops, there's a mistake in the thread starting article (from me): You can of course NOT upload a boot file, but you MUST upload a "disk image" (e.g. a [PC] *.win file).

Re: Black Phoenix 1.5 Q68


]It never will from me. The uqlx codebase peeks inside the box far too much for that.

That's why at Peters suggestion I started sq68ux!

Is there a version of sQLux, which is working with German (other foreign) keyboard AND has the original English messages?

I have no problem with the German ...

Vote: Who has PE_BGON ON (PIE/PEX) in its standard boot program?

As the subject says it:

Who has the PIE/PEX extension (PE_BGON in QPC2/SMSQ/E) loaded (enabled) in its standard boot program?

First line should be:

yes, no, 0, 1, true, false
