QE Beta D, close to release.

[hutch--]

I have fixed a few obscure problems, fixed the plugin DLL for text conversion, added F1 support for the old Winhelp format as there seems to be nothing else available that will do the same job, wrote a new script to create your own plugin DLLs and re-arranged the menus so they are more like a working environment than a test piece.

As before put this in a seperate directory in the same drive as MASM32 so you don't mess up the existing installation. The project menu calls the normal build batch files in masm32 so you can test out this version without changing anything in your installation.

Any feedback would be welcome and if anyone has the time to test the printing on a Windows only printer it would be most appreciated.

I'm not sure what you mean by a Windows only printer, but the printing works OK on my DeskJet 1000C using the default drivers under Windows 2000.

Also, in the In-memory Dialogs Reference there is no mention of CallModelessDialog or any modeless-dialog specific information.

Print OK. My printer is HP LaserJet6P/6MP PostScript

Thanks, I will add the modeless reference shortly. I don't know that model Deskjet but a Windows only printer is one of the cheapies that only handles graphic data and I don't know anyone who has one. At least I know the printing works on an Inkjet type printer.  :thumbu

Lingo,

Thanks, your HP is a later version than my LJ5mp. If you have time, try this for me, if your masm32 version is an old one, enclose the filename in quotes in the batch file and it should build source files that have spaces in the path and file name.

Lingo,

Thanks for the result, I don't know what is happening as the attached file has both long dir name with spaces and a long file name with spaces and it builds correctly. Works on any ML version from 6.14 up to 8.00.

I had a look at the batch file and it chould work, I know for sure they work on win2000 and XP up to SP2 but I don't know if Vista does something different in terms of how it passes its paths. With the batch file you posted, will it work if run from CMD.EXE ?

[lingo]

"With the batch file you posted, will it work if run from CMD.EXE?"

No, I posted the result up..

Later:

I have 3 OS on 1 disk: Vista64 SP1, Win XP SP3 and Mac OSx 10.5.3
I restarted and loaded  Win XP SP3. Tested your quick editor again. All is OK.

[hutch--]

Thanks for the testing, I am none the wiser on the 64 bit version but it sounds like its CMD.EXE does something different when it runs a batch file. I know there are differences btween the old command.com and cmd.exe but I don't have access yet to 64 bit hardware/software to test it.

[lingo]

Your qeditor works under Vista64 Ultimate SP3 too, but
I used next Vista option: ->qeditor.exe ->right button->menu->Compatability->Run this program in compatability mode for: Windows XP (Service Pack2) 
but with contents of build.bat like my attached file build.zip 

With normal build.bat doesn't work
