Ah I have found it - it has not been removed - someone has instead created a "Sinclair QDOS" entry - it is not easy to find though, as QDOS only takes you to the PC o/s page - the link is at the very top of this page. I think all in all, one QL wiki resource is what is needed - I tried looking for a few things, and yes, its fine that "Pawn" takes you to a page about Magnetic Scrolls, but with "Prawn" taking you to a page about the shellfish, how do you tie that into the Sinclair QL adventure of the same name? Wikipedia is very good, but it is the problem that it is a very general encyclopedia, it is sometimes hard to find the page relating to a topic which has the same name as another better known topic. -- Rich Mellor RWAP Services URL:http://www.rwapsoftware.co.uk URL:http://www.rwapservices.co.uk _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
