I would like to be able to answser that - unfortunatley, the time 
spent on the licening stuff has, up to now kept me from looking at 
the code!

However, I CAN tell you from experience that you will need some 
knowledge of assembler to understand the code.

[ql-users] What do you want to do with the source to SMSQ ?

[Norman Dunbar]

I've been lurking on this subject for a while, however, I feel that it is
getting a wee bit personal at times - although as Wolfgang says, we need to
sort it all out and open discussion helps.

However, what do people want to do with the source code when they get it ?

I for one want to see it in its original form - so I don't have to keep
disassembling bits when I am trying to figure out how to do something, or
something simiklar to what I'm trying to do now.

I would like to see the source code fully documented - and will take part in
doing so - if I'm able and have the time.

But apart from that, there is no other reason for me 'needing' to see the
code.


Roy  Jochen have a vested interest (?) as they sell SMSQ - but as Roy has
already pointed out, he doesn't sell much. I suspect the same is true for
Jochen.

So, what do you want to do with the source code when it gets released ?
