Hi all, for those of you who would like to see the Q60 in action in Germany or are interested in a talk to Q60 developers: Part of the Q60 team plans to be at the Oldenburg Linux Developers Meeting 2002. There will be Richard Zidlicky (Linux), Claus Graf (Application), me (Hardware). We can

[ql-users] UQLX for Windows

2003-08-01 Thread Peter Graf
Hi all, a little visit to ql-users after long absence. News for the Windows users among QL folks, so I guess the best place to let them know is right here :-) I've ported Richard Zidlicky's emulator UQLX to Windows. My first impression was that it worked quite nicely, at least under NT. Under

Hi, a short comeback to this list for a few infos. Sorry if I don't stay too long, I usually don't have the time to deal with the amount of traffic here. Quite often I receive questions about the mentioned subjects. So maybe it's good to clarify a few things for a wider audience. QLwIP, what
