He then moved on to release QLay2, an improved version of the original QLay. Designed to work on Windows 2000 and XP. I did briefly have it running on my old Win98SE PC, but have not installed it on this new PC. QLay 2 was available on his website, though I haven't accessed the site or been in contact with Jimmy for a while now. I have copies here which I could probably email to you once I've checked the copyright status (I think it's freely distributable but need to check). One of the zip files is about 180KB long, the other about 1.5MB (the latter probably including sources etc, too long to offer to send by dial-up email) -- Dilwyn Jones _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.quanta.org.uk/mailing.htm
