Very different in some respects yet similar to QDT, I see it as its younger brother, and it will run on QDOS systems unlike QDT which will require SMSQ/E (for obvious reasons, its altogether a more ambitious product). > I keep getting extra ideas for it, especially since Darrenm suggested > the 'more than one user' options.

Yes, I suggested to Dil the ability to load different user log-ons, ie. entering different names and passwords would load each users preferences, ie. favourite games/utilitities on the desktop, as well as wallpaper or whatever. He went off scratching his head, and had a basic working example in a hour or so - quite amazing. I'm looking forward to a working version to see how good it is, even some of the icons Dil has designed are fabulous.
