Fred doesn't reply to emails asking about t87. I asked years ago when I found
he was involved in Firebird SQL, a database I work with, and write
documentation for, but as soon as I asked anything about his QL stuff,
silence. Good luck to anyone trying.

printer driver and the way, he saves documents.

sounds like it's having detrimental effects on his heal

I do the same: I buy each kind of QL stuff for preserve and I sell the

The traffic laws are also clear enough to me, still I'm occasionally
prone to a parking violation.
He he, Marcel would rather pay a parking fine than buy a QL software ;-)
And you really think that people who didn't even care enough to keep a
copy of their OWN software would try prosecuting som

Hi Rich,
I had a look at the negative comments, which I would say that they do not want
to support the QL. They everything for nothing, which was a similar position 10
years ago with the hardware I was trying to supply.

Really no disrespect to you or your work. But, as a creator of
software and probably of the most commercially successful QL software

pretty laughable. Th

I remember that all information about our preservation project are here (now

In view of the highly negative (and offensive) comments which I have
received on various forums about my approach to the preservation of QL
