...sorry for being a dummy, just did not the message correctly, brain is getti g mesxing, breathing solder flux...

I like the idea of libraries of Superbasic prcedures and functions, it does sound familiarm I thought there was something aready donem maybe locked in the Quanta Library.

There is ...

For INCLUDE with no params, select everything. For EXCLUDE with no params, deselect everything.


That's what I would expect, but it seems to say the opposite...or am I just not getting the wording?

This works as expected in S*Basic in my SuQcess program.
Norman's attempts in ASM appear to ...

fer=FEXF(filename$) I can't find FEXF in WL's Reference guide :(


One F too much - It's FEX, likely.

FEW, FEX are SMSQ/E v3+ keywords and there are also FEXP (Lightning math) & FEXP$ (TK2,Minerva).
FEX, FEX$, FEX_W; FEXF, FEXF_W are (old) FI2 keywords, and now replaced by FI2_CALL to avoid ...

The PAUSE thing is from a line like:

PAUSE #channel, 250

Which I've got rid of now. So that's one out of the way! But I wonder why PAUSE doesn't like parameters.
Annoying, isnt it? I also only rediscovered this recently. Thats why I added PAUSE[#channel,] [timeout] to my Q2S "compatibility ...

Martin,
Using the same var name as a FOR loop and reassigning it outside the loop is normal practice for me.
Also REP loop names can be assigned values and used as a normal var according to the Jan Jones book.

There's an example of the problem on page 6.6 of the QLib manual 'FOR type ...

...
Why the test QLIb Q60test01 runtimes should affect programs compiled with and included with other runtimes is something I don't understand...

The two mentioned test programs QCoCo and SQRV do not have Qlib_run included but expect this to be part of the system's Boot process. So if any change ...

Hi Martin,

Although your patch program did not work, here is something that indicates that FOR loop variables are at least part of the incompatibility of QLib with copyback. I have a small program to copy the screen to a pic file. The program does not copy the screen correctly when compiled and ...

I can indeed be specific.

(...very specific...)

I'm currently using DBAS version 2.13 if that makes any difference?

I am in the process of attempting to get a minimal working program so that I can test this out further.

Cheers,
Norm.

Thanks Norman.
As I indicated, for SuQcess we only use ...

The problem is that I see a small error in the "Select" option; the '=' and '<>' operators seem to be swapped. Also, the '<' and '>' operators.


There's actually a bug in DBAS on the select function, I think. The docs say to do one thing, but the C68 library does the opposite. This reverses ...

Gents,

I found a QXL card in my stash of old Sinclair machines. I got it somehow many years ago and never used it.
It says QXL 2B on the back and has 8 SIPPs installed. Those are TC514400 ones. Googled it and they are 1Mb x 4bit RAM.
The CPU says XC68EC040RC 25 B. Is that the 25 MHz version ...
