It was to do with PAW, and eventually Nigel Kettlewell made a Quill converter. The PAW ones were routines to drop into speccy BASIC (extern), and then into SAM BASIC (with Steve Nutting's altered Speccy ROM) to do stuff like game saves or full screen graphics between locations, etc. The best ever PAW conversion by Martijn came out a while later. I think there must be a few crossed wires about Derek Morgan. He lives in Skelmersdale, Lancs, and he had a PD library and F9 Software. I've yet to see Derek on the net. If he did eventually get connected then he mustn't be able to find us. That's surprising really because he was quite keen on using Cookie's comms program on SAM with his modem for BBSs in the mid 1990s. I got the old Dalmation BBS running a few weeks ago under Amiga emulation (I'd kept it on a CD). It was like finding a time capsule. :) Dave W
