Does this fall into the parameters of what you were looking for Geoff - the possibility of paying someone to extend the SDUMP system. Of course, a small(ish) job, but one that could be incoporated into a lot of programs. Perhaps we should start thinking of what sort of routines we would

My brother in law works for lexmark (senior sales director) and I asked him why Parallel has become extinct on cheap inkjets - he said ( as far as he knows) it is because the Parallel interface is copyrighted and owned by centronics, and royalties must be paid, whereas USB can be adopted

Hi Jérôme, Side-question: is the text87 patch available for Q40 ? (I read about it for QPC). I'm lacking text87 in 1024x512 so far... (And at which price... ) I don't know how many inquiries have been passed on to Marcel and at which level he decides to invest more time... I guess that non-QPC
