I can't get Quick-ST to work on the MEGA ST's with the ROM's at lower adress than normal (the first MEGA ST2) and neither on a ST with TOS 1.4. Is this a big problem - and - will it be corrected....

(registered owners will receive an even faster version - hint hint) -- =====Ignac A.

Which you shouldn't, for almost all applications. A pointer to the OS header is located at $4f2; the structure of the OS header is documented in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the BIOS (contact Gail Johnson at Atari 408/745-2568 for information on how to get ST developer documentation). -- ||| Ken Badertscher (ames!atari!kbad) ||| Atari R&D System Software Engine / | \ #include <disclaimer>

The new version og Quick-ST (1.46) seems to work OK, BUT there are some
strange things....
1) If you select black backgrund and then clear line in VT52 the standard
vt fills the rest of the line with spaces i that color...
With Quick-ST the backgrund allways gets white.....
2) The vt52 Goto-position command doesn't work as it should...
In LDW power the help menus get 10 chars too far to the right, and
in another program all text after vt52-goto is printed in the lower
right corner...
Is there a newer version of Quick-ST. Can this be started from /AUTO/ ?
Where can I order this and at what price ?

Registered owners will receive version 1.5, which is faster and has less bugs than 1.46! -- =====Ignac A.
