There are a lot of books on programming the QL in Assembler, BASIC and C (although not the modern version) and many of these are available, 2nd hand, from QUANTA, TF Services, Rich Mellor etc. These all stop short of the modern system but would provide a grounding in the system.
True, many articles in QL Today which demonstrate programming techniques etc. are scattered throughout it's 11 volumes. I believe that all of these still exist in electronic form so maybe there is some possible mileage in gathering all of the articles of each series together and either printing them off as a single volume or putting them on a CD as PDF files. I have no idea how much work this would be but it would be work so there would have to be a charge. Nevertheless it would be worthwhile if it got some people writing software again. -- Roy Wood Q Branch. 20 Locks Hill, Portslade, Sussex.BN41 2LB Tel: +44 (0) 1273 386030 fax: +44 (0) 1273 430501 skype : royqbranch web : www.qbranch.demon.co.uk _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
