I've not heard of the proposal before, but I'm generally open to
suggestions. QPCPrint (as the standalone executable it is now) is not
for sale as its target audience shifted to mostly non-QL users and
businesses with old DOS software, but the functionality could be
integrated directly into QPC2 to achieve the same goal.
At the 2007 Quanta AGM John Mason, the then chairman, made a passing
reference to Quanta and QPC2, but the information he gave was not for Quanta
buying the rights, but for Quanta to buy a copy as a gift for each member.
This suggestion had been made by a member as a way of saving the QL.
Obviously he decried the idea because it would not have been an effective
way of using Quanta's capital. Firstly there are many Quanta members who
have no desire whatsoever to own a PC and secondly over a third of Quanta
members already owned QPC2.
Had Quanta misunderstood what George had proposed or had there been 2
separate proposals about a Quanta involvement with QPC2?
Best Wishes,
Geoff
