A complete freely available QPC2 (even if it will remain propietary software) would (partly) solve the problem to distribuite new SBASIC programs that need no limitation at runtime: The QPC2 executable and the SMSQ/E binary (configured ad hoc) could be packed together with the WIN file and a BAT file. Something similar would happen with a free unlimited version of Q-emuLator (and the QLPAK format is perfect for that), but SBASIC could not be used, because of SMSQ/E. > >I would guess that not many copies, if any, of QPC2 will be sold > >in the future. I agree. But don't forget the potential future upgrades. I think most of the registered users would be willing to pay for any new improved version.

If that could be the solution some day, I suggest we could simply do a collection. Is it unrealistic? I don't know.
