The Sinclair QL Forum

I have no problems with all the interrupts being shut down, if you are only wanting that programme running.

How do I load programmes from a networked QL with the QL NET connection?

There's actually no reason why a job shouldn't be able to disable interrupts and do all other sorts of dirty stuff (After all, CALLed programs run in the context of a job as well, it's just always their S*BASIC owner job - typically job 0). There might be some issues when you have an interrupt handler in the job which will crash the machine when you don't properly remove the handler on the end of the job (or force-remove it), but Marcel has shown a work-around somewhere in this forum, I believe.
