Similarly SQRview102DB4_obj does not hang as it did previously when asked to display files. Everything seems to work as it should apart from item 3 on the F3 drop down menu "view system sprite". On the Q60 trying this caused the system to lock up (no CTRL C to kill the job).
I also checked ...

What I did, was that I patched the SQRview object files definitions of the Q_ERR_ commands to Q_XXX_. But not the references in the compiled SuperBASIC.

So the compiled program will still look for Q_ERR_ON, but not find it in the compiled program, so will look outside for it. So you need to ...

I have done the same patch for SQRview. It's just a shot in the dark to see if it fixes the problems with SQRview

Same as before LRESPR QERR601B_bin first

I don't know what you did to SQRview but I wonder if this will work.
Versions 1.01 & 1.02 have the old ('94) QLib_ext built in, so any ...

Another test object could be SuQcess, where DBAS can not be ignored.

Thanks for reminding me about SuQcess, all 3 versions of this that I have work perfectly with copyback on indicating that the DBAS file is not an issue with
SRQview. SuQcess is a lovely program with it's GD2 window ...

Check the QPAC2 manual.

SQRview remains a standalone. No error messages this time. Everything seems fine until an attempt to load a file causes it to lock up, interestingly SQRview does not have runtimes incorporated.

At the moment the Q604F runtimes are a major, major improvement.

Cheers and thanks

For INCLUDE with no params, select everything. For EXCLUDE with no params, deselect everything.


That's what I would expect, but it seems to say the opposite...or am I just not getting the wording?

This works as expected in S*Basic in my SuQcess program.

fer=FEXF(filename$) I can't find FEXF in WL's Reference guide :(


One F too much - It's FEX, likely.

FEW, FEX are SMSQ/E v3+ keywords and there are also FEXP (Lightning math) & FEXP$ (TK2,Minerva).

The PAUSE thing is from a line like:

PAUSE #channel, 250

Which I've got rid of now. So that's one out of the way! But I wonder why PAUSE doesn't like parameters.
Annoying, isnt it? I also only rediscovered this recently. Thats why I added PAUSE[#channel,] [timeout] to my Q2S "compatibility ...
