IIRC, Wolfang's "Basic Linker" has a SuperBasic parser in it. It can be found on Dilwyn's page at:

I write all my numberless Basic in QD and use F10-"sbas/qd" to parse and test run it from there.
BasicLinker will produce from that a ...

Hi,

I'm having some problems compiling a program with QLiberator that uses the PHGTK graphics extensions.
...
It all works fine in SuperBASIC, but when compiled with QLiberator, it stops with:

Q_LIB error 19 Indices wrong
The line giving the problem is:
3245 e%=FPNG(x$,"ram1_test_pic",scrMode ...

Oh well, that wasnt too hard. I wish Id had this years ago when it might have been of some practical use.. I guess this cost a bit back then.
I see the PSION license text is still attached..

There is extra Xchange info in the Thor F2 manual, including the extended character set (very useful) and ...

Porting the QL-SD driver might be an option; it contains some BASIC commands like WIN_DRIVE, WIN_USE and WIN_CHECK which are not present in the current driver. On the other hand, CARD_INIT is missing which is something of a surprise as QL-SD supported two SD drives like the Q68?

As QL-SD was ...

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 ...

It's not anautomatic job. You need some BOOT lines with HOT_THING to add your jobs to the list.
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
