The three buttons are only invisible if you've selected fullscreen mode in the 
configuration.

There's the command QPC_MINIMIZE that you could put on a hotkey.

drawings. This fills the display, which is a nuisance when it would help to
minimise it, because the three top right corner buttons from Windows are

I recently had to move my tiny, rudimentary website from the free 
ukonline to 123-reg. I
imagine that there are fewer and fewer freely hosted sites these 
days. The new host

was very helpful when I failed initially to get the thing working.
Well, my domain name name is with 123-reg, although my QL website runs 
on Tony Firshman's servers. I have nothing but praise for his service 
and very reasonable prices.


Even when we had to migrate my site to new servers, I think it all 
went 100% perfectly. Plus of course Tony understands our particular 
needs when creating QL-focused websites and is always prepared to try 
to help.


My personal website and one or two others I maintain are all done in 
the old fashioned way, a tag view editor and Filezilla to upload the 
pages. Not the most modern way of doing things, but it works, and both 
my personal website and the others I maintain are reasonably quick and 
up to date and intentionally not all bells and whistles. If I had to 
list software I'd like to see for the QL it would be:


1. Email client (possible, but a lot of work - Jonathan Hudson's 
programs exist)

2. Browser (unlikely, but not impossible - Lynx already exists)
3. Website editing software (possible, but a lot of work)
4. Modern WP/DTP software (unlikely, but not impossible - 
Paragraph/Prowess exists already)


I look forward to the time when my site address will eventually 
appear on the QUANTA site

which is quick and easy to follow - but a bit slow on the update.

I look forward to being able to edit the news pages again!

The new link to your website is on my QL site links page, but I will 
need to check that the QL Search Engine picks it up, though, which I 
forgot to check (it can be forced to look at specified websites, which 
makes it find new sites more quickly).


Actually, if anyone else wants to implement a QL-specific search 
engine like the one on my website, I'd be happy to share details of 
how to go about it.

I understand from Daniele Terdina that Q-emulator for Mac will be getting an
update soon that might include TCP/IP support. If that is the case, I might
take on writing a  POP3/SMTP mail client when my skills improve further.

One unused advantage of a QL-specific mail client is the ability to email
files to each other, and have the mail program protect and retain the
headers. I might need assistance with that, but I could give it a go.

Now this is interesting. QPC2, uQLx and Q-emuLator for Windows all 
have TCP/IP support via the host OS.


In fcat, from what I have looked at the specs, the X-...extensions can 
have mailer specific extensions.


Last year I had a small program working which sent and received emails 
and stored them in a database. The sticking point was an editor to 
create emails and wrapping it all up to allow attachments etc. I did 
write a very primitive editor able to handle up to 32K of text but it 
wasn't integrated. I never got as far as a fully working version 
because the never ending writing for the two mags had to take priority 
because of deadlines and I found the email project needed constant 
attention or I kept forgetting what I'd last done. So I didn't go any 
further with it at the time. But one of the things I'd hoped to do was 
use the X-... mailer facilities to do something QL specific such as 
file transfer or secure email.


As a sidetrack from that, I also developed a crude text browser for 
displaying html emails - it simply converted html to plain text and 
displayed that. More rough than ready, it is one of those projects 
which sort of almost worked and is lying there waiting for me to pick 
up on it.


Both have now been left long enough for me to forget what I was doing, 
so it might be easier to start from scratch at some point, probably 
over the summer period when less is happening.


There is of course Jonathan Hudson's QPOP3 and FTP client which I 
think include source code if you wanted to study them -

Hi Norman, 

I've only been on the QL 'scene' for a couple of years whereas 
some of the guys here have been here since day 1, back in 1984
which is pretty eye opening. At least I had an original QL which i 
waited months for for it to die within an hour of receiving it ( it
was
a very early machine ). Sadly, the QL was doomed from the start, 
Sinclair made some drastic errors of judgement IMHO by aiming the 
machine as a 100% business machine and why oh why didn't he fit
a 68000 instead of the 68008. Anyway, he did, it failed... but it lived

through hobbiests which is where the guys here come in..

back to your question.. Personally, I've amassed quite a lot of QL 
equiplment in a very short space of time.

2 QL's , 1 Trump Card, 1 GC, 2 SGC, 1 full spec AURORA, twin ED drives,

loads of software  etc etc

and can say that Id skip the Trump Card and look for a GC or SGC, they

are worth the extra money. Only concider a Trump card if your a bit of

a games player and don't want the games running too quickly.

Good Luck
Neil


 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 19 March 2008 00:25 
Hi Norman,

The Trump Card will give you bags of extra memory (an extra 640k on top
of
the base 128k IIRC), the ability to plug in DD floppy disks
(720k/disk), and
the always-useful Tony Tebby Toolkit II (aka Toolkit 2, or TK2).

If you're currently lacking any expansion on your QL, then a Trump Card
is
worth having for the disk interface  memory.

A Gold Card (or Super Gold Card, if you're one of the lucky few) will
not
only bring you bags of extra RAM (2MB or 4MB for GC or SGC
respectively), a
disk interface capable of driving DD, HD and ED drives (720K, 1.44MB
(?) and
3.2MB per disk) - but most importantly it also replaces the CPU with
(if I
remember correctly) a 68020 or 68040 (GC, SGC) - or maybe it's a
68000/68020, I forget. At any rate, it goes a lot faster...

GCs and SGCs are (rightly) considered the Rolls Royce of original
equipment
upgrades, before you get into the various QL-on-a-PC-card systems
(sorry,
can't remember it's name) and QL emulators.

Other things you might find useful to expand/improve your QL: Minerva
ROMs
(which make many improvements over base QDOS); SuperHERMES which IIRC
much
improves serial i/o  keyboard response (and also IIRC allows you to
add an
IBM type keyboard with relatively little aggro). Then there's QBIDE -
a
hard-disk interface; no longer manufactured, and I'd like one of those
myself...

Considering the relatively low level of sales Sinclair suffered
(despite
apparent evidence to the contrary on eBay - there's always plenty of
QL
stuff on sale there), it's remarkable just how much add-on hardware,
and
software, was - and in some cases still is - developed for it. 


Cheers!
Ade. (using QLs since 1984!)

Hi Norman,

Yes, it is worth having a Trump Card, if you cannot get the Gold Card or 
Super Gold Card - which are hard to find now.

We, at the London QL  Quanta Group recently had a Trump Card available, 
although we are now using it ourselves for the Group ... :-)

It gives access to 768K memory, with the largest version, and floppy 
disk drives.

Although, only with DD disks with the standard EPROM at the time.

I believe the EPROM can be upgraded.

I used a Cumana ExpanderRAM for many years, which gave 512K + 128K = 
640K, and DD disk access.

You could also look out for expansions like this.  There were several 
types on the market.  Which all neatly fitted in to the expansion slot 
on the side of the QL.  Yet making the QL a lot longer in length on a 
desktop.

All of these still used the QL's 68008 main processor.

The big advantage of the Gold Card / Super Gold Card is that they have a 
replacement 68000 processor to speed things up too.


Thanks for all your advice, guys.

3.2MB per disk) - but most importantly it also replaces the CPU with (if I
remember correctly) a 68020 or 68040 (GC, SGC) - or maybe it's a
68000/68020, I forget. At any rate, it goes a lot faster...

GCs and SGCs are (rightly) considered the Rolls Royce of original equipment
upgrades, before you get into the various QL-on-a-PC-card systems (sorry,
can't remember it's name) and QL emulators.

Other things you might find useful to expand/improve your QL: Minerva ROMs
(which make many improvements over base QDOS); SuperHERMES which IIRC much
improves serial i/o  keyboard response (and also IIRC allows you to add an
IBM type keyboard with relatively little aggro). Then there's QBIDE - a
hard-disk interface; no longer manufactured, and I'd like one of those
myself...

Considering the relatively low level of sales Sinclair suffered (despite
apparent evidence to the contrary on eBay - there's always plenty of QL
stuff on sale there), it's remarkable just how much add-on hardware, and
software, was - and in some cases still is - developed for it. 


Cheers!

Thanks for all your advice, guys.

I missed the Gold Card auction :( but I have seen this one 

http://uk.four.ebid.net/perl/auction.cgi?auction=1200854905-28140-8mo=aucti
on

for a Trump Card?

I can see it isn't as much of an uprade as the Gold Cards, but is it worth
having?

Cheers,

Norm


Hello Norman (Cook)

Welcome to the list.  Exciting days lie ahead for you and your QL!

Re your question - Is this (Gold Card) the sort of thing  you need to 
beef up your QL?

[Short] Answer: yes!  But be aware that there is another and better  
version - 'Super Gold Card'.

Is there a list member who can point Norman to the current web-pages of 
QL tech info - rather than me re-inventing the wheel for him?  :-)  Please.

Have fun Norman(C) ... and, of course, all other #Normans hereabouts - 
and especially, do I like the 'kilter', of the newest web-site - just 
announced here ;-)  Look forward to more @ same. Thanks.

Regards to all

John (in Wales)

Hi Norman,

Welcome to the list.

I am sure that you will find it both fun and rewarding.

Yes, expansions to the basic black box QL do make a big difference - 
like Trump Card, Gold Card and Super Gold Card.

Each is progressively more capable, and more expensive.

All are now only available as second hand, as they are no longer 
manufactured.

Depending where you live, you should also try to get along to a User 
Group meeting.

For example, we at the London QL and Quanta Group have a lot of QL 
equipment available.

Also look up Rich Mellor's web site, for a regular list of QL items for 
sale.


Hello Everyone!  As a long term QL fan, I thought it was about time I 
joined this list.

I was wondering, can anyone help me. Is this the sort of thing I need 
to beef up my QL?

 Folk,
 Did anybody find, in cleaning up the room after the show Saturday, a
10-outlet protected power source? I think Urs and I were the only ones
using it earlier. Dark grey like so many computer gadgets. Can't find it
anywhere in the car. It was plugged into the wall that was behind Tony's
and Bill's tables. Don't remember if it got moved elsewhere after the
show ended.

 Thanks,

 Thanks to everyone in general, and also to those who participated in our
discussion of what is done or to be done for Internetting with a
near-original QL.

I concur, and commend Tony. I watched him as he worked on four or five items of 
mine alone.

 Strange, the persons on the picture labeled Mary Cable  Ann Schaaf
 look a bit like Bill Boehm and Alf Kendal!

He he - will correct.

 Hope you all had some fun.
