Hi All,

I have removed the trail limitation for SuQcess 2.05 on my site.
Three language versions can now be downloaded.
I have used it almost daily over the past 10 years and am aware of 
bugs in the program, although nobody else has reported any problems.
I am busy testing the fixes and updates but I do expect to need a few 
more weeks before v2.06 is finished.


SuQcess forever,
Bob

I did some work on SuQcess many years ago, but I can't remember much 
about it.


I have a feeling that someone asked me to write a rule list for Dutch 
and this was the great strength of the program that you could set up 
your own version. If I remember correctly the big snag was that it 
started a new job with each search, but never cleared out the old jobs 
so that it continued to use memory until the machine crashed.


I hope this is sufficient to stimulate any one else's experience of 
using the program,


Best wishes,


Geoff

I agree with Urs.
The only possible future for the QL is through cooperation, sharing of
software, a growing sense of community and belonging.
Otherwise we are doomed to extinction or to become a collector community
that owns the computer without being able to use more.

Great stuff! Thank you!

SuQcess will be added to a future release of QL/E.

I feel the spirit of more and more QL software becomes freed.

It's time to end this non-sense of "commercial" QL software. The only chance
for the QL to survive is that it becomes as free as possible. Rigid and
strict positions in this respect are preventing the QL from having a future
in the niche of hobbyist retro and what-could-have-been computing area!

QL forever!
