Time to summon Marcel and Jochen to see if they can shed any light on
this, I guess!
No idea. This is up to the hardware driver and I have no insight
whatsoever into this. I just do the right calls in QPC and either it
works after that, or it doesn't.

It would be great to hear from people explaining why they DON'T
want
to go on committee. Surely it can't all be down to lack of time? We

means we can do most work by email or telephone or conferencing and

BTW one other reason that Rich has a long mailing list is probably that
he sells on EBAY. Maybe a Quanta shop there would generate some
interest.
Actually, Rich has sold quite a lot of gear Quanta has acquired - John
Gilpin will confirm that.

Does anyone know if Ghostscript on the QL is able to read PDF files
and if so, up to how recent?

A software package, or easy access to free or low cost software, would
