Timothy,
I think that the Reference Guide was a document that Jochen put together -
and therefore belongs to him from a copyright point of view? Has anyone
approached Jochen about the Reference Guide?
Having said that you have an excellent point in that nobody has been saying

QDT seems a very interesting development. A GUI would put 'QL_ware'
into the frame with modern OS's.
I learn't computing on non-GUI machines, yet I now use the GUI's

Where is Quantas input in this matter, I thought they contributed
to the development of SMSQ. Why are they not distributing an
