Re: seeking way to capture cursor position at millisecond intervals

Hi Ed,
QM itself has no knowledge of the cursor position, therefore, any mechanism
to determine where it is must be handled within AccuTerm. I believe that
there is a control code to ask where the cursor is and receive this back as
an input data burst but I can imagine that the whole process may take more

You forgot that Accuterm can also launch Windows applications, and these
launching scripts can be activated from inside a Pick BASIC program running
on the host system.

So from Pick BASIC I can say... oh look we have an MP3 file here, I'll go
ahead and launch your MP3 player and feed it this file location... and it

refer to:

look in the area of ' AccuTerm Programming'
there is actually very little AccuTerm can NOT do
where it's running a Windows app, accepting mouse input, browsing to a URL, displaying images, programming in GUI
it's pretty much all there

seeking way to capture cursor position at millisecond intervals

2010-03-14T18:12:40Z

For a really geeky project, I want to capture the x, y, t coordinates
of the mouse cursor location at millisecond intervals. I see that I
can get the milliseconds from SYSTEM(9), but I'm not clear how to get
the mouse position.
Is this possible in QMBasic?
Will AccuTerm do it?
Just another strange request,

Hi Kevin,
The licence is tied to a specific system based on the "system I'd
code". The -L option to the qm command displays the licensing screen.
The system I'd code is at the top right.
It is possible that an o/s upgrade has changed this from when the
licencevwas issues.

Hi Martin,
Thanks for the weekend reply.
I really don't know what this means. What ID do I have to "Find"?
According to the ref manual, " qm -L" is to apply a new license,
though it doesn't indicate if the license should be included in the
command line or if it is an interactive process.
Regardless, I did try the "-L" option of the QM command, but it just

Hi Kevin,
Visit [link] to generate a temporary licence for
the new system id. You can find the id with the -L option to qm.

System ID Code Mismatch

2010-03-13T17:22:29Z

I tried to fire up my development copy QM installation on my Mac (OSX
10.6.2) and received the message "System ID Code Mismatch"
MBP15:~ kpowick$ qm -start
System id code mismatch
I double checked that my license had not expired, and that license
information in /usr/qmsys/qmconfig matched that on the original

Hi,
As stated in the QM Reference Manual, use username@domain. This is the
format required by the underlying Windows API.

Active Directory

2010-03-09T15:42:04Z

Is there any integration between QM and Active Directory on a Windows
server, or does QM only use local users for security? If so, how do
you enter a active directory login. I have tried 'domain\username'
and it does not recognize that as a valid user.

I second using a san and snapshots. You can suspend the database for
a moment, create the snapshot, and release the suspend. Our netapp
takes snapshots instantly.
As for being truly 24/7, run two boxes and replicate between the
boxes. You can pause replication and do backups on the second box.
If you need to do hardware/software upgrades, upgrade one, fail over,

Ashley,
I am guilty as well! :-) Actually, we are really more like 24x6.5. I
guess I just don't have the resources to be TRULY 24x7. Somewhere along
the line you have to ask if it's worth it for a few extra hours of
uptime.
