When I run the minimal version in XP, I immediately get "The CPU has encountered an illegal instruction..."		2009-04-237:54 PM
trollyRe:Asgard Released!!!
strange, i run windows XP too, and i've no problem :s. what version of windows XP do you use?		2009-04-237:59 PM

Interesting...like a Palm Pre on the desktop.		2009-04-239:21 PM

Very nice. I was able to download the QML browser from the minimal version and run it. Your browser is impressive, but the fact it goes to textmode to run wget is annoying. Can't you run it silently? It's especially annoying on the chat system, where the screen is constantly going blank.		2009-04-241:20 PM
Re:Asgard Released!!!
Trolly- I want to add your site to the CURSOR crawl indes. What's the best URL to put in that links to all the others (this will probably be your home page)?		2009-04-241:43 PM
Re:Asgard Released!!!
Trolly, you really need to use absolute URLs for your links. Relative URLs are non-standard, cursor ignores them, and you don't want to become the Internet Explorer of QML do you?		2009-04-241:47 PM
trollyRe:Asgard Released!!!
the qml page in the q-step host was for testing purpose only, i'm beginging to write a site for asgad		2009-04-242:50 PM
trollyRe:Asgard Released!!!
the reason why i go to text mode is simple: try future lib, go to graphic mode with set640x480 8 and now, try to make a shell like "shell dir", you will see what happend. if you have a solution, say it me		2009-04-243:05 PM
pharoahRe:Asgard Released!!!
I'm not sure, but maybe adding a @ to the beginning of your shell command might suppress its output...		2009-04-243:28 PM
trollyRe:Asgard Released!!!
@ does not avoid the command output, but it used in bach files to not display the command		2009-04-243:42 PM

[quote]and you don't want to become the Internet Explorer of QML do you?[/quote] lol, no i want to become the mozilla of qml :p		2009-04-243:49 PM
pharoahRe:Asgard Released!!!
YAY, I got it to work on a different machine. I like it! Something weird though, the colors are wrong. The default at a page load should be: FG: 7 BG: 0 It's not, so some pages show up very wrong (CURSOR has a bunch of hidden text). Also, a lot of text is just not showing up (it's being "eaten" somehow!). I think maybe it is because you are using LINE INPUT to read in info. LINE INPUT does not recognize UNIX style line terminators ("n" newlines). Try using something like this instead: [code] 'NOTE, file f must be opened AS BINARY FUNCTION LINPUT$(F) DIM C AS STRING * 1 DO WHILE NOT EOF(f) GET #f,, C SELECT CASE C CASE CHR$(10) EXIT DO CASE CHR$(13) GET #f,,C IF Cchr$(10) THEN SEEK f, SEEK(f)-1 END IF EXIT DO CASE ELSE RESULT$ = RESULT$ + C END SELECT LOOP LINPUT$ = RESULT$ END FUNCTION [/code] I didn't test this but it should work fine.		2009-04-245:00 PM
ksrRe:Asgard Released!!!
Trolly: wget has a -q switch which suppresses its output. You can also put > nul on the end to redirect the output. As I don't have QB, I don't know what happens when you do as you describe. Does the screen become corrupted?		2009-04-245:04 PM
trollyRe:Asgard Released!!!
i know that the "line input" statement does not reconize the unix End of line format, i's why i've a function "File2Cache", wich store the file in the cache folder, and convert it into a readable format for qbaisc [code] SUB File2Cache(infile$, outfile$) DIM car AS STRING *1 DIM chaine AS STRING chaine = "" fic=FREEFILE OPEN infile$ for BINARY as fic fic2=FREEFILE OPEN outfile$ for output as fic2 DO WHILE NO EOF(fic) GET #fic,,car IF car = CHR$(10) THEN PRINT #fic2, chaine chaine = "" ELSE IF car CHR$(13) then chaine = chaine + car END IF LOOP CLOSE fic2 CLOSE fic END SUB [/code]		2009-04-245:49 PM
trollyRe:Asgard Released!!!
i've tryed wget with -q, the the problem remains present, the screen displays bizares things if I switch not in text mode. the problem is not just because output, but also because I make a shell		2009-04-245:52 PM

To see what I mean, try viewing Brandon Cornell's page or a forum thread in Asgard. Then try in CQML, PQML, or Qbrowse. Some of the problem is just that your colors are wrong, but it is more than that.		2009-04-246:02 PM

I'm working on a solution :P		2009-04-246:22 PM
pharoahRe:Asgard Released!!!
In FreeBasic you could just use Chisock. [b] By the way, it might be good for both of you to push a user agent string. The way this works is it looks like "AppName/Version" So CQML sends "CQML/2.1" and PQML sends "PQML/Bravo". You can see what your reader is sending by going to http://pharoah.xetaspace.net/wru [/b]		2009-04-246:28 PM
trollyRe:Asgard Released!!!
bug fixed		2009-04-246:50 PM
trollyRe:Asgard Released!!!
how ca i push an user agent string? .... okey i've found		2009-04-246:52 PM
pharoahRe:Asgard Released!!!
In WGET you use the -U option I think so it looks like wget stuff -U name/ver		2009-04-246:59 PM
agumaRe:Asgard Released!!!
what exactly did you mean by 'bug fixed'? did you mean the SHELL bug or something else? anyway with Future.lib and other libraries, there's a strange bug that doesn't let you use SHELL. This is what X-GUI did: Quote: [quote]When a DOS shell is called it will set the screen mode to 0x3 (text mode). To get around this we added a program that gets ran at X-GUI startup called SCRHACK.COM Im sure people will wonder what this file does so here we go... When SCRHACK is installed into memory it stays resident, it monitors the 968 (3C8) port and checks for 0 or 66, if it gets a 66 then it will turn off all interrupt 0x10 so that nothing normal will change the video memory. If it gets a 0 then it turns interrupt 0x10 back on. Interrupt 0x10 is the interrupt that most programs use to change the display contents, add pixels and print text and ect.. So you would guess since when a DOS shell is called under SVGAPV the OUT 968,66 is called and thus the SHELL command will work correctly. [/quote]		2009-04-248:17 PM
trollyRe:Asgard Released!!!
ho nice, it's that what i need, where ca i get scrack.com? ps: the fixed bug, was a bug related to some display issue. not the screen mode problem		2009-04-2410:07 PM
agumaRe:Asgard Released!!!
You can get it here: [file name=scrhack.zip size=1394]http://theguiblog.com/images/fbfiles/files/scrhack.zip[/file]		2009-04-2512:49 AM
trollyRe:Asgard Released!!!
how shoud i use it in the app?		2009-04-257:53 AM
BrandonRe:Asgard Released!!!
If I understand correctly, you should put it at the start of GUI.BAT, that way its in memory and can do its stuff.		2009-04-258:50 AM
trollyRe:Asgard Released!!!
i've tested it i ran scrhack before the gui is launched before i made a shell i made Out 968,66 and after: out 968,0 but it dont work :(		2009-04-259:41 AM
agumaRe:Asgard Released!!!
Well in the source code, it seems you have to save the screen contents and then put them back after you call SHELL. Idk exactly why you have to do that... :P		2009-04-2511:24 AM
