Re: Hello from Spain

Welcome! I have both an original QIMSI and a QIMSI Gold (not on the same QL obviously!). Great devices . The micro-SDHC cards are so convenient for storage and transfer to other systems.

Re: Q_Liberator malaise


The old keywords are switched off by default in FI2 but if a program expects the old ones they can be switched on again. I find it strange why the existing keywords always have to be changed just because someone had another idea for SMSQ/E.

I suppose that Sbasic has so many keywords, it's bound ...

Re: Q_Liberator malaise



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


Depends which version of FilInfo2 you're using - Older versions have FEXF , more recent versions have FI2_CALL

Because of the different keywords in different versions I had to do the check on which keyword existed, in order to ...

Re: Q_Liberator malaise

Before you criticise Qtrans too much in relation to FileInfo2 (and I detest the statement that it's "buggy" - I wrote it, I use it constantly with SMSQ/E and FileInfo2 without a single problem), here is the code used. It really is all that's used. It's in a procedure.

IF CHECK('FI2_FCALL') THEN

Re: Q_Liberator malaise


I don't use FileInfo2, but I don't see the connection to Qtrans, it dos not seem to ask for it. I am not sure but if you start a program via Qtrans, it should use FI2.

If it detects the presence of one of the FileInfo keywords, it can try to launch files using fileinfo2. Not near a computer to ...

Now, I just need to find some time to explore your amazing 3D simulations and games!
I agree, Martyn. High time someone wrote miraculous software which doubles our free time. I'm retired now, expected to have more time, but am busier than I ever was!

I will get them scanned.
None of those are already on my site (I have a few lower numbered issues), so it would be nice to make those available!
Nice find, Derek.

Re: Q_Liberator malaise

Not been following this discussion too closely, so forgive me if this post is repetition or unhelpful.

If the Auto Integer FOR is the root of the problem, would using Qlib_Patch_Obj to turn off the AUTO setting in a compiled program achieve a similar result? This still wouldn't deal with programs ...

Re: Talent 3D Designer

Instead of doing LINE #channel,TO x,y just use LINE #channel TO x,y

i.e. instead of both comma and TO, just use TO alone (one separator)
