I second that. I participated in the beta and must say that Adrian has
produced an impressive piece of software. It's really unfortunate that
he had a rough time struggling with the limitations of the plain old
QL. I believe this greatly added to his frustration. But he managed to
come up with innovative ways of working around the limitations and
produced a useful set of tools that now sadly will not see daylight
unless there is more interest in his solution.

Being able to read/write usb memory sticks formatted with QDOS was
really useful at least for me. The slow speed of the native serial
port was not that big of a deal since my use cases were essentially
transferring small files between a PC and the QL.

I should also add that all through the beta period Adrian was very
helpful and responsive. He literally fixed bugs within hours of
discovery.

Now, if anyone has a spare Hermes up for grabs.... please let me know :)
