It **should**. Sorry , I don't know any more than that. Wolfgang What is required of the Atari version as far as hard drive support? Will any scsi card do?

Since I don't believe that this merits a version bump, I simply re-upped the smsqe files. If you are interested in the Atari version, you might want to re-dwonload the binaries. If not, don't bother.

Re: [Ql-Users] QPC2 and Win 8
Morning Norman, In the midst of all my other problems, I finally had a go at Winback this morning but have run into a problem. I have changed the FLP1_ in line 1070 to win1_ and I get a not found error. I have also tried win1_winback_ and but still get the same error. Can you help please? I am running QPC2 on Windows 8 and have managed to produce a much larger QXL file. The next problem is to get any further.
