QL Haul, list of Contents and questions!

[dilwyn]

Here we are. It's a windows zip file of the contents of that disk, not sure how that deals with the directory structure (it was copied to PC using qemulator).

Thank you!
QEmulator added QDOS headers to all files, including SBasic files. I will have to strip all of them before I can test the package.
Normally copying the file to RAM1_ or using QPC2 strips the header, but for some reason this doesn't seem to work for SBasic files. Well, i'll just write a small program to do that.
I presume the directories were named L1, L2, L3 P and W.

I wrote an article for a recent issue of Quanta magazine on the subject of how QemuLator modifies executable files, and how to remove the file preamble. This article is attached.

As Andrew said elsewhere, easiest way to avoid the problem is just to copy the files to be zipped to a QL device (e.g. ramdisk or QL format floppy disk) and zip from there and transfer the zipped file to Windows. Being zipped protects the headers from Windows. Copying the files to a QL format medium makes QemuLator realise the file modifications ain't necessary any more and it tries to strip them off the file during copying.
Attachment is a zipped quill/xchange doc file, had to zip it as the forum wouldn't let me upload the doc.

Thanks Dilwyn.

Andrew - I found the original user guide printed sheets that go with that Mathematical and Graphical toolkit.

Don't suppose the maths toolkit is related to either of those on my site at http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/tk/index.html?

No, it's from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden. The notes say that it was the first one they created for the QL.

That would help a lot !
I managed to create some 2D and 3D plots of some simple functions, but the program is much more complex than that and I have no idea what most of the parameters mean

I'll see what I can do! I don't remember how many pages it was.

I don't know if I still have the manual in my stash of QL goodies from the preservation project...

However, I seem to recall that the manual was a large A4 ring bound manual (in a red cover) - certainly over 100 pages...

Hi,

The Mathematical and Graphical Tookit, was dold witj a floppy disk containing Superbasic exaples of mathematical and grahical example routines.

The manual was printed double A5 on A4 sheets, 312 pages in total.

I have found my manual and will scan the manual, ptofucing an A5 PDF file, mainly gor my benefit.

But there seems to be no copyright on the manual or software. If so I could make it downloadable.

Oh, is it that large! I didn't get a chance to look today. How about we check that we have the same version and share the scanning duties?
