| Alarm Kill | A short program to kill any alarms. | Sinclair QL, Type-in program |
| Directions from the Director | We meet every other month, but there’s been a lot of talk about more frequent meetings. Some of the proposals: All of the above have my support and perhaps someone has a better idea. I like best going to members houses and seeing how their QL is set up. What do you think? | |
| Editor's Notes | For once this editor has a number of hobby horses to ride, and the problem is to choose which one the challenging gauntlet, the kudos-to-all, or the self-serving praise. | |
| File-Saver Alarm | With the QL’s tendency to lock-up (a problem experienced by most owners sooner or later). its a good idea to periodically save your work to disk or microdrive. That way, you should lose only that work done since the last save. | Sinclair QL, Type-in program |
| Job Openings | For nearly two years Joyce Blaho has abley acted as our newsletter liaison officer. | |
| Jonas_Term | Several years ago Mike Mitchell wrote a SuperBASIC program that got the QL on line with a modem. It was far from perfect, particularly as the QL has difficulty receiving data at the serial port, but it was widely copied in newsletters. | Sinclair QL, Type-in program |
| Meeting Minutes | The New England Sinclair QL Group met at the home of Al Boehm on September 8, 1990. There were twelve people present: Al and Dorothy Boehm, Pat and Carol Condon, Joyce Blaho, Gary Norton, Will Horton, Norm Shein, Ernest J. Wider, Peter Hale, Michael Jonas, and Ed Kingsley. | |
| NESQLUG Software Library Update | Thanks to everyone who brought in and demonstrated new software at the September meeting as well to those of you who mailed in new material. | Sinclair QL |
| Production Notes | For the first time the entire issue of this newsletter has been produced on test87. Previously, the newsletter was produced in part from Quill, passed through Bi-columnifier to generate two column format, and then bits and pieces such as the page numbering were cut and pasted. | |
| QDOS and Floating Point Numbers | When working with assembly code and C code, it is important to understand how the QL interprets floating point numbers. This is essential when working with graphics or arithmetic routines. | Sinclair QL |
| QL Journey | Once again I experienced that little ‘rush’ I get when I receive something from fellow QLers. I can’t wait to get through the rest of the mail so I can sit down and leisurely digest the QL info. | Sinclair QL |
| The Under $10 Solution | Students use lots of “milk crate” type storage containers to store their essentials (The less said about this, the better), and Lo!, a box of fan-fold fit quite nicely inside of one and the printer nestled comfortably on the top. | |
