I would also be willing to chip in some $$ also and it could possibly work in one of 2 ways. Either buy the rights to put SMSQ/E under the GPL or pay Peter to release his work under GPL for QDOS Classic or Minerva. If Quanta would put in a substantial sum (why save any money at this point) then I bet we could raise the rest. As far as I am concerned we need one thing only - practical internet access. Everything else just slows the dwindling user base but that would move us in the other direction. If it were for QDOS Classic that is fine as more people could immediately be drawn in. -- Bill
