The Sinclair QL Forum

At first I wanted to install pie_ext, PICE and NICE to get full multitasking (see this thread).

OK, it's not necessary any more (PE_BGON). Unfortunately these commands seems not to be documented (at least not in the Keywords document of Marcel's QPC-Web-site).

Are there any documents, to get all the new keywords and possibilities of the current QPC2 and SMSQ/E?

And where can I buy Marcel's patch program for text87 (the main reason, to switch back to QDOS)? The original one seems not to run, at least not with higher resolutions. I haven't found a trader on Marcel's or the JMS web site.

There are various other lists and manuals around. Try Dilwyn! You could try the original QL manuals, though the corresponding QPC manuals are mainly (incomplete) update on these. And the TK2 manuals (The Miracle Systems one I usually found most comprehensive). An index of most keyword in the wild can be found at Wolfang's Official SMSQ/E site http://www.wlenerz.com/smsqe/addkeys.html. No descriptions, though, nor were to find them. Some keywords and facilities youll only find described in the text files that come with the source code, also from the official site. I may have chaqnged since last I looked, but did you look at the boot file that came with the QPC demo? That should strart you out nicely with the "new" windowing and hot-key systems.

It may seem a lot, but nothing to the zhock I had after installing my first Linux, a Red Hat v1.00, iirc. I counted some 3700 man pages just for what was on the system!
