[Ql-Users] QUANTA Magazines
I am carrying out a project which involves me copying (scanning, OCRing, etc.etc) all the issues of QUANTA Magazine from Volume 1, Issue 1. - February 1984 to present day (although more recent issues have a .pdf file available. On checking through my back issues, I find that I am 3 issues missing from Volume 1. The missing issues are 1 (February 1984), 3 (April 1984) and 12 (January 1985). Can anyone out there help me to source these issues and loan them to me for the purposes outlined above? All processes are non-destructive and I could return them to the sender(s) as soon as I have finished with them Regards to all, John Gilpin.

Re: [Ql-Users] QUANTA Magazines
Thanks Dilwyn for your kind offer. If you could bring them to the AGM next weekend, I could collect them from you there. - another project under way!! I haven't yet read the earlier Volumes of QUANTA Magazine so the required proof reading etc will not be quite such a bore as might otherwise have been!!

Do you want me to post them to you, or can it wait until the AGM next weekend? If you need any more, I think I have every issue of the newsletter, bar one or two I may have lost over the years. A few years ago I took advantage of the back issues service to fill the gap in the collection. Looking at issues 1 to 3 when I went to check just now, I realise that the first 2 or 3 issues of the newsletter must have been sent out BEFORE any QLs ever went out, unless Leon Heller had a pre-release QL to work from. Some of the early articles are general 68000, C and hardware articles laying the ground for the forthcoming QL. Nice way to spend a quarter of an hour on sunday morning - some QL nostalgia :-) -- Dilwyn Jones ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

Thanks Dilwyn for your kind offer. If you could bring them to the AGM next weekend, I could collect them from you there. - another project under way!! OK - I've put them in my pile of stuff to take next weekend in case I forget about them. I haven't yet read the earlier Volumes of QUANTA Magazine so the required proof reading etc will not be quite such a bore as might otherwise have been!! I remember Darren Branagh saying about how when I asked him if he had a particular issue of QL World a few years ago, how he got his stash of mags out and started reading them...what should have been a 5 minute job finding one old magazine turned into an all-nighter reading just about all of them ;-)) -- Dilwyn Jones ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
[Ql-Users] uQLx Mac
Does anyone have a current email address for either Phoebus Dokos or James Weatherley - I have a query from someone who is looking to update the Mac version of uQLx if he can possibly get hold of the sources. We have the emulator itself, but the current version only seems to work on one particular version of Mac OS. -- Dilwyn Jones ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
