Help with Q Liberator

[gregtaylor]

Hi, running QL2K.

When testing QLiberator, I can run phase 1 by typing e.g. liberate win1_test_bas and it correctly creates the work file.
If I type in liberate win1_test_bas, (comma to do both stages) or just "liberate" then I get file not found. Liberate does not seem to exist as a file in the folder.
Can anyone help?

I think you are missing some files. Like qlib_bin and qlib_run or maybe qlib_sys. If they are all in your default drive, it should work. Probably...

Thanks but no, all present. They do have a capital first letter but didnt think that mattered?

Did you issue a QLIB_USE command?
If yes, what parameters did you use?

[gregtaylor]

No I hadn't. Have tried qlib_use win1_ (guessing syntax) but no different.

Maybe it would help if you read the manual, then (Chapter 14).

Try to save your SB Program via QSAVE (load QLOADREF_bin first), then put the name in the (started) program QLIB_OBJ. That should work anyway.

Thanks for the pointer. Have gone through the boot program and the options. The program does load at the beginning (QLiberator Runtimes Release 3.36 @1983 Liberation Software) but trying to do a one step compile (liberate win1_test_bas, Note comma at end) still gives not found error.

This is using the Minerva 198 ROM if it matters?

Ypu should use something like this

QLIB_use win1_QLiberator_, QLiberator_

first parameter is the directory where QLiberator is installed
Second parameter is the directory of the help file
(modify QLiberator_ to the directory where you installed it on your drive)
