As for the Q60, that lives in storage, since no one >wanted to buy it. You mean getting Text87 to run on a Q60 ... We have inherited a copy of Text87 at the London Quanta Group, and it works fine on a QL + Gold Card. Sure, the PC hardware has sped along so speak. I am not sure how free Linux really is ... all those downloads from the internet, all the compiling time if you are in to that side of it, all the magazines to buy, all the applications to acquire ... I guess it all adds up to time is money too ... :-) May be your Q60 will see the light of day again ? -- Malcolm Cadman _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
