On Friday, just before the Quanta meeting in Manchester, Darren and I
had the idea of producing a QL Documentation CD, containing as many
information docs about the QL as possible.
Despite the idea being inspired 8pm that evening, the following day we
were selling it and it proved popular too. So popular it's well worth
expanding on.
Must be a bit of a record - a CD-ROM taken from concept to burned
reality in about 3 hours!
When I get time I'll put a list of its content on my website, possibly
the docs too if space permits. Meanwhile if anyone has any informative
material especially programming and hardware information I could
include on it (the CD is freely copyable) in order to make it as
comprehensive as possible and as useful to as many QLers as possible,
please send me an email saying what documents you have. To save
bandwidth, don't send the files themselves until I've checked if I
already have them or not.
Examples of material already on it (much of it already on my website,
on my QL Docs page):
GD2 docs
QL manual plain text (means this CD can't go to USA sadly)
Various magazine articles about SMSQ/E etc
Miracle Systems manuals
SuperHermes Lite manual (thanks Tony...didn't ask until the show
;-) )
Toolkit 2 docs
Easyptr tutorial
PE Idiot's guide
Hotkeys articles
HP PCL codes list
ESC P2 codes list (Acrobat docs only)
Config 1 and 2 info
Printer dat file format info
QMenu article (CDs sold had cover saying QMenu manual, sorry,
blame Darren for that one, not true)
SDUMP information
Maths stack article
Thing information and articles
68000 assembler programming info
If Tim Swenson is listening, can I include your SuperBASIC Sourcebook
etc?
(This isn't an advert, simply an appeal to gather useful documentation
for this project)
