BOOKxx.QM are a series of macros enabling the user to load, read, and/or
invoke macros located in any file. Files, items or macros may be quickly
located in any file by enclosing a key identification word in parentheses
and placing the bookmarked word in an Index. BOOKxx.QM includes macros
using the new technique of a "macro reading a macro" to significantly
expand QEdit macro buffer space.

A theoretically unlimited number of macros (in excess of the limited 0.5k
QConfig.dat buffer) located in files other than the current file can be
quickly located and easily executed at any time using either @f, @6 or @7
while editing any file. (See bok001.qm for additional discussion).

The techniques, necessary configuring, and use of these bookmark macros
require a considerable knowledge of QMAC and QEdit macro language. They
involve some new techniques that have not been fully tested and are my
first real effort to have a macro read a macro, a heretofore (and still)
not recommended procedure. Until this "macro reading a macro" technique
can be fully tested and proven to be viable, I am recommending the user
*not* use this technique in other macros without full knowledge of it's
pitfalls and limitations. The user should have a good working knowledge
of QEdit macro language and the QMAC macro compiler to use the BookMark
macros.

  1. Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

  2. This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

  3. But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
