You can also OCR the programs - easier with the Quanta Magazine than QL Today. I often do it when I have to look at a basic program in an old issue of QL Today. Inevitably there are a few mistakes, but it is still quicker than typing a program in, Best wishes, Geoff ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

Although late, due to Editorial issues. That have already been acknowledged. I must congratulate John Gilpin, the Editor, and the Contributors; for producing a very interesting Issue of the magazine. Just a comment on the lateness of the magazine. When you have a committee that has been seriously undermanned for as long as three years, then there is no slack left in the system and when a crisis arises the chances are it will be a serious one. The magazine contains the nomination forms - and these can also be downloaded from the website - and this is a good time for all members to think about the contribution they can make to Quanta. More provocatively perhaps my many critics now have a chance to prove how much they really care for Quanta, Best Wishes, Geoff ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

However, both the short and the longer listings are prone to printing and transcription errors. So, better if supplied on a media of some type every now and again; or downloadable from the Quanta web site.
