> Wouldn't the alternatve be to install QPC2? You are completely right. But only if you imply that every user is a power user. No doubt QPC2 is the most powerful software that has ever been written to emulate an environment that is mostly QDOS compatible. I just use the QL (or emulation in my spare time, playing around with code examples from old books etc.). I do not even consider running any "serious" applications such as text processing etc. within such an environment. My only purpose is to discover some of the magic of Sir Clive's black box - and learn some 68K assembler. Sometimes the behavior of SMSQ/E is somewhat different. For example I recently tried the job example "real time clock" from the book "QL Advanced User Guide" by Adrian Dickens. This behaves as expected under QDOS, but under SMSQ/E you must task-switch to either have that clock or the active cursor in window#0. Obviously the window handling is somewhat different. Please so not get me wrong, I do not say the old environment is better, but it is more compatible to examples from that time. That's why in many cases I do prefer the QLay - less power but more compatibility for what I am doing.
