Well, if you already have all the titles as you say, and have already invested hundreds in DP products over the years, I personally cant see the problem in someone supplying you with the missing disks. I would, but unfortunately mine are buried in a cardboard box 200 miles away in my parents house...
Darren. -----Original Message----- From: Stuart Jones [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 20 May 2005 00:13 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ql-users] Undelete Dear Ffibys, I must confess that I did not buy the "Collection" as such until now. The situation is as follows. Around 10 years ago, and for some years previous, I purchased many individual titles of DP's programs. I guess I had around 30-40% of the complete set, at a cost of several hundred pounds. By then, the PC was slowly taking over, and the idea of buying the rest as a job lot in the form of the Collection, on a limited budget, didn't appeal. Subsequent to that, I purchased QPC2, and like you, using the virtual win_ disks, copied all my floppies and microdrives to a win_ file. Unfortunately, in a moment of madness, I accidentally used WDEL_ and deleted the wrong tree. By the time I realized, it was too late... Some of the floppies, where there entire contents were copied, were thrown away, others had deleted files (I still have these). Since then, I have purchased, second hand, a copy of the DP collection itself. Unfortunately, only 6 of the 10 disks were present, though the remainder of DP's programs are on around 30 floppy disks as individual titles. What I would like is a copy of the missing disks, numbers QL5, QL6, QL7, and QL10. In practice, I have all the titles, but not in the form I'd like (i.e. nice and neat). If you or anyone else could help me out, I'd be grateful. I do understand the copyright issue, but in view of the foregoing, and the 10 year gap, and the practical realities of the programs being effectively obsolete, I hope the request could be considered reasonably, rather than creating a furore over rights and wrongs!
