- Hi,
-
- I sent the brand new QED 1.09 public evaluation release to
- hp48@seq.uncwil.edu, so I hope you'll soon find it in
- comp.sources.hp48. A really nasty bug has been fixed that could
- have caused system crashes.
-
- This is an excerpt of QED.TXT:
-
- 1.08 01-09-92 Only a very small change has been made compared to
- version 1.07: If you've got lots of libraries
- installed, you won't see QED leave with an
- insufficient memory error - QED now allocates
- some memory to save the ROM-entry table for
- this case.
- NOTE: Only registered versions of QED are changed,
- the evaluation version stays 1.07
-
- 1.09 21-12-91 Sorry to anyone who suffered data loss when running
- QED 1.08 - there was a bug in it that caused
- system crashes under some low-memory-conditions
- and on ROM revisions < E.
- This bug hasn't been in QED 1.07...
- I spent a lot of hours on QED 1.08 just to
- reproduce the bug, than another couple of hours
- to fix it.
- Now everything should definitely work fine... you
- may load your 48sx with hundreds of libraries,
- and even the PICT is not scrambled any longer -
- only if your PICT is smaller than 131*64 pixel,
- it will be resized to 131*64 and cleared.
- The default QED.keys object is now much more complete
- and similar to the original key-table, especially
- the right-shift-ALPHA keys have been added...
- The KEYED has been renamed to KED, put in its
- own subdirectory and modified a little bit.
- (see KED instructions)
- The 6x6 font is now complete, as the 6x8 font has
- been before. In the 5x6 font are still some
- seldom used characters missing.
-
-
- I believe this version to be _very_very_ stable, but I also know
- nothing is perfect at all...
-
- I hope you'll enjoy this version of QED even more than the versions
- before, and take a look not only on the new executable, but also
- at the default fonts and the reworked key-table, both have been
- improved.
-
-
- Registered users can update from any former release of QED, if you've
- got an email adress, just drop me a line, and I'll send you
- your licensed executable uuencoded. If you don't have an email
- adress, send me a SnailMail with the appropriate amount of US$
- for postage.
-
- cu, Lutz Vieweg
-
- PS: In the past there has been sometimes trouble with the submissions
- to comp.sources.hp48. I'll post QED 1.09 to comp.sys.hp48
- if necessary.
