I used to get good help with anything uQLx related on the QL developer's forum ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). Alternatives are to use one of the Windows QL emulators under a Windows emulator for Linux. Depending on your particular requirements, QPC2 is the best commercial QL emulator, but there are others, both commercial and free.
