It is the QL version which seems to be old.  It would be nice to see if
Tim could help get Illustrator support on the QL


Ah ok, I'll keep searching then, I'm sure I've got a QL Quill somewhere. I
remember it because it's not in the usual cassette case, more of a foamy
plastic box. Trouble is, it's in here somewhere! *waves arms around*

Alas I cannot remember (it was almost 30 years ago) and do not have any 
of the original programs for testing - I think it was down to extra 
memory to be honest...


It also looks as though the Quill was updated since the original release

Hi Rich,

I've got a Spectrum version or two and I think a QL version, Tim mentioned
yesterday he'd got his QL copy running as well as an Atmos copy.

I'll have a look tonight.

Cheers

[Ql-Users] The Quill (Adventure Writer)

[Rich Mellor]

Good morning all,

Does anyone have a copy of the Quill adventure writer by Gilsoft?

Tim Gilberts (who ran Gilsoft) has been looking into this and found a 
version A03 copy.  I myself only have version A00.


Tim asked if anyone has a later version than A03.
