I am a supporter for Free Software, that software released under the terms
of GNU General Public License, https://www.gnu.org/ so I haven't any idea
of how can I help you, with that type of software that is a freeware.

A freeware hasn't nothing in common with Free Software.

I can suggest to decompile DM5, to read the source code and to provide to
write from scratch a new one emulator, and provide to release it under the
terms of GNU General Public License version 2
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.txt or version 3
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt

These are the ROM's. http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/qlrom/index.html

Starting from 90 years I used winzozz till the end of 90 years,

During 90 years and in particular way from 95 till 96, i started to use IBM
AS/400 mainframe, and I started to develop in COBOL, RPG, SQL, QBE, QMF

During 1996 I gave the exame to take the hamradio license, and from 1996 i
am a radioamateur, this is my callsign: iw0fzw

Then I gave the Regional exame to have the certificate of Analisys
Programmer in COBOL, RPG, SQL.

During 1997 I started to read books on Communication to BroadBand, TCP/IP,
IPv4

During 1998 I started to read issues on open source, as normally happen, I
found interesting Richard Matthew Stallman, his own Free Software Movment,
the GNU'S Not Unix Project and from 2000 I started to take contact with him.

In 2000 i migrated to Macintosh, i bought a PowerPc G3 233 Mhz that i
updated in the years as hardware and software.

It arrived to have 448 Mb of Ram, 160 Gb of hdd ide, cd-rw samsung and from
mac os 8.6 it had mac os 9.0.4 and then mac os 9.2.2

In 2004 I wrote the website: http://www.gnu-linux.it some year after I
haven't updated anymore the website and isn't more mine.

I started to write a new website:

http://barcamp.org/f/MassachvssettsInstituteOfTechnology.html

If I remember well was 2006

In 2007 I wrote the italian version of http://paolodelbene.pbworks.
com/Richard_Matthew_Stallman and one year later i wrote:
http://paolodelbene.pbworks.com/Richard_Matthew_Stallman_en
