As I mentioned at the beginning of this series in QL Today I do not want, and am not qualified to, write all of it. I do need help for future articles. The next issue will feature the second part of my BOOT file section and that may run into the issue after that if space is tight. Tony Firshman has promised an article on Hardware detailing all the bits you could/can plug into a standard QL and I would like the next article in the series to deal with emulators.
Now I have only really used the QXL and QPC so I need some input. What I would like is for uses of the other emulators to write a shortish piece on how to install, configure, run, and manage the other emulators. Volunteers first and then I will assign the tasks. I would also like very short input from users about what they liked and disliked about the emulators they have tried. This would be good for people new to emulators and may help them make their choice on what to use. It would also be good for the authors of the software so they can see what the users want and how well they are doing in providing it. So here is you mission - if you choose to accept it. Let me know and I will collate and organise the final article(s). It is important that we do this so that, if people decide they should move onto other platforms, they can take their QLs with them and stay part of the community. In addition to this, if anyone would like to write on a subject for the 'Start Here' series get in touch and we will discuss it. Jochen/Geoff - maybe you could print this somewhere in the next issue for the non user group readers. -- Roy Wood Q Branch. 20 Locks Hill, Portslade, Sussex.BN41 2LB Tel: +44 (0) 1273 386030 fax: +44 (0) 1273 430501 skype : royqbranch web : www.qbranch.demon.co.uk _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
