I will never understand, why Fred does not open this format.

I wonder whether the probem may be that Fred used some library
routines that he would be legally entitled to use in his own 
programs,

but which were not his copyright and thus he cannot release the code.
Not sure whether or not this would affect releasing the file
formatting though.

Another thing that fascinates me is the compression routine for QTYP.
Did TT use a standard routine? The reason is that the dictionaries
page on my website has taken off with over 1,000 hits in the last
quarter and it now comes high on the search engines. Most people are
downloading the QTYP versions which indicates to me they are usable 
in

other programs.

Nice to know that work you did for the QL years ago is still 
relevant,


Best Wishes,


Geoff

In which case, you would assume he would notice? Surely?

I guess John's web-mailer generates HTML replies with a text
attachment that does NOT include his answer. Then the list strips the
HTML part of the mail...

Updated again today.

There's a new tool to extract all known keywords. Not much use I admit, but I 
needed it myself.

QPC commands have now been added based on Marcel's manual version 4.02 based on 
QPC 4.04.


Enjoy.


Cheers,
Norm.

Hi John,

It seems that from time to time your emails appear to be blank replies. I've 
had a couple recently. Are you aware of this?


Cheers,
Norm.

Has anyone approached him recently to ask about publishing the
information about the file format?

I know he doesn't want to make Text87 freeware (you can still
purchase it from Jochen I think) but the file format might be a good
idea - assuming it isn't used in any other projects and that is
why
