Id like to take this opportunity to thank Tony Tebby, and also many others, some of whom he has mentioned in his mail, for all you have done for QL-users! Id like to assure you that your ingenuity, time and effort has given us many hours of good clean fun, as well as made significant contributions to many aspects of our work and leisure activities over the years. Thank you very much! An operating system is a rather special piece of software: Its job is to create a firm, understood and stable environment out of a disparate and confusing array of platforms. This then is the foundation on which we can let our diverse imaginations run riot to do all those wierd and wonderful things we want to do. "Freedom through dicipline" sounds just about right. The dicipline demanded of us is to work within the License - there can be no doubt now about the terms under which we have the right to continue to develop SMSQ-E. Once the foundation is secure we can enjoy the freedom this gives in full measure. I hope we can continue to build on this glorious system, to continue to improve it to meet our changing needs/demands, and to strive towards that elusive system that allows us to do what each of us wants, the way we want. QL-users should realise that we are in a unique position to have such a possibility. Lets not foul up here! Lets forget our disagreements and try to work together! Per
