Re: Gilsoft PAW/Quill
Is The Quill manual for the Sinclair QL available anywhere?
Re: Gilsoft PAW/Quill
Yes, but not the software itself. I'll dig out a link for you. (I have all the manuals here on my computer but I'll see where I got them from)
Edit: It's probably easier if I just zip it all up and share...

Re: Gilsoft PAW/Quill
Thank you. I wanted to know if 'sysmess' displays a new line, but the answer is not in the documentation, and I guess not.
I don't know if you have seen my previous message which is on another page?

Re: Gilsoft PAW/Quill
I have, yes thanks. The document is on the backburner at the moment. When I'm less busy with work I'll revisit it as there's loads on the list that needs changing.
Yeah, it's hard to tell re. SYSMESS in the QL without having the software and trying it out. The behaviour of SYSMESS in PAWS doesn't include a line break.
I'm guessing that in this case the QL version of SYSMESS will mirror the usual behaviour of Quill MESSAGE. It seems to have been just included as a way of expanding the bank of available messages.

Re: Gilsoft PAW/Quill
There is a bug, probably already identified, with the Zx Spectrum C04 version: diagnostics does not display the values of the turns.
Edit:
A bug in The Quill C64 version A06: if you change the color of system messages 30 and 31 (Y/N) by entering a color code before the letter, they are no longer recognized when typed (e.g. if you type Quit).
