QL Tinkering

[qbits]

Hi bwinkel67 thanks for your inquiry.

8 colour high res is used with QPC2 which will default to four colours with Mode 4 on other older QL Platforms as when using QL Qemulator or QL2K running at QLBB speed. In these environments QBITS Trader takes a few minutes to go through the Stock Trends calculations at start up and with each WEEK END changes. BUY or SELL will be slow but workable.
A 10-fold speed increase such as Gold card etc would be more workable. Q68 or Qimsi running SMSQ/E should be fine.

The only problem I have encountered so far is older QL Fonts Chr$(181) Ctrl+Shift+U may not produce Euro symbol!

The easy fix might be to upgrade the QL ext. Fonts ie. Fbase2=ALCHP(588) : LBYETS dev$&’QLFontB_fnt’,FBase2
Then CHAR_USE#ch,0,FBase2 (QLFontB_fnt uploaded in previous posts to this topic)

Or I could add it as an extra line of code to QBITS_Trader_bas if there is enough interest.

Hi all,
QBITS FontEditEE
To use the Vector Scalable Fonts of SE Plus I’ve been developing a HEADINGS Design Section.

Note: QPC2 Emulator in MODE 16 is the Platform where I write most of my Code now days.

QBITS_ScrSaver_bas
The QBITS S/SuperBASIC Prog I’ve been playing around with for Screen Saving and Viewing of the Headings.
F1 Select a Screen Area and Save as _pic File.
F2 Set x,y position and Load _pic File to Screen

The Prog and Three _pic files provided for Screen Mode 4,16 and 32 in .zip
QBSS04_pic, QBSS16_pic QBss32_pic

Have fun exploring S/SupeBASIC…
