HI,

Mark's 3D software written in Superbasic is excellent, I used to supply this with the Q60 and some Q68 computers.

Looks like no else has used it till now.


Regards,

Derek

I also forgot that I had written this SMSQ only version of the software.

Written in simpler times where it was safe to put your postal address in the readme file.
Fortunately I've moved since.

From the file dates QL3D was completed in 1988 and updated in 2001.

I probably added SVG export in 2001 and it's likely that the syntax requirements have changed since then as SVG files exported from QL3D no longer display correctly.

To fix the SVG export issue alter line 9620 in QL3Dviewer_bas as follows:

Code: Select all

9620  PRINT#9;'<svg xml:space="preserve" width="100%" height="100%" viewBox="-421 -297 842 595" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">'
...It seems a little odd fixing a program 23 years later.

but the programs examples are written C

Hi,

Good book, C68 should be able to programme the examples.

I will have a look at this.

Derek
