The Sinclair QL Forum

That's wonderful. Have a great time! And please tell them about the international QL meeting, where both would be very welcome. ;)

Bruce is on here, so will see this for himself.
As Simon (on the left in the first picture) was performing in a local castle today, we didn't get long with him, I ...

I was delighted to get the chance to meet up with former QL trader Bruce Nicholls today. Bruce was the man behind the company Quo Vadis Design, Q-Review magazine, and the QL-users email mailing list.

Since retiring, he's now living in Wales, not far from me, and is getting his QLs back into service ...

Hi Dilwyn!

Not sure how useful it would be for your use-case, but SNG's DIY 'WHY' Function could be placed within the various functions/procs of interest to display the Return Stack at runtime. I don't recall whether it worked only with GOSUBs or also with 'real' PROCs...


Ah, thanks Martyn ...

I'm pretty sure I've seen what I'm looking for somewhere, but can't for the life of me remember where! If anyone knows of such a program, it'll save me time writing my own.
What I'd like is a routine to scan a program in memory and in addition to listing procedures and functions (like QREF software ...

Truly lovely! I often marvel at the inventiveness of QL users.

If there are any manuals for any of those interfaces, Derek, I'd be happy to add them to the other TF Services replacement manuals on my site for users to download.

It had never quite sunk in with me about what Steve said about == 0, although it is mentioned in the Jan Jones BASIC guide:

X == Y will be true if [X-Y] <= [Y*1E-7] , where [X-Y] means the absolute, or positive, value of X-Y.
Note : It may not be immediately obvious to you that no value will ever ...

S*BASIC is a little unique in having the "approximately equal" (double =), for both floats and strings in their respective ways.
It's really useful for float comparisons when tiny calculation inequalities become obvious in cases like this for such numbers.

Nice work! The software looks relatively straightforward if you can program it from BASIC like that.

Derek - good luck with sorting out the I2C interfaces, especially if it means we can use them on Q68 one day!

I marvel at some of the things you've achieved with these cards! Congratulations.
