Evening Geoff, I believe you already have something from me that was held over from the last issue? I certainly hope so. Perhaps as a news item you might like to note the following: Both George Gwilt and myself - but mostly George - have been updating http://qdosmsq.dunbar-it.co.uk with lots of information on the internals of QDOS and more especially, the Pointer Environment. Huge thanks are due to George who seems to have unlimited time for adding information to my web site. Cheers, Norm.

We want to keep to schedule this time so all readers get the magazine before Christmas. Fortunately we have had several early contributions, but not yet enough for a complete magazine. Also as it has been so quiet on the QL front in the last couple of months I am anticipating a short news section. On the positive side, from the material we already have plus one promised contribution, it looks like being an issue with a good variety of articles, Best wishes, Geoff ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm -- Norman Dunbar Dunbar IT Consultants Ltd Registered address: Thorpe House 61 Richardshaw Lane Pudsey West Yorkshire United Kingdom LS28 7EL Company Number: 05132767 ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

Re: [Ql-Users] Deadline approaches
Hi Geoff, I know some of our readers have only had their QL Today for just over a week, but the deadline for issue 2 is next Sunday 16th November. Ha! I'm not worried this time because I know I've sent you two articles! So I refuse to panic this time. ... and the start of a new series although I am not revealing the content. Intriguing . I wonder what it will be. We hope that the late arrival of issue 1 will not prevent you writing for issue 2, No, it didn't. As I said before, the late arrival of Issue 1 means a shorter wait for issue 2! :-) Cheers, Norman. ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

Once I have twenty of me I can call for a Special General Meeting on a frivolous motion, probably that the officers should end their 3 year period of office by being rolled naked in a bed of nettles. It would cost me £500, but be worth it. (;-o) On second thoughts probably not.

There will be a tribute to and a potted history of TF Services. Another is John Mason's last Quanta Magazine editorial that members have not responded to Quanta's pleas for new committee members. (Should there now be better news, please let us know Quanta committee.) There are also one or two more minor stories that are a bit negative. What I am a little concerned about is that we could recreate some of the atmosphere in the first half of the 1990s when DJ Software closed down followed a year later by QL World. The screams that we heard then The end of the QL is nigh were more than a little premature. In fact there is still a lot happening on the QL scene and we need to publicise this. It's just that we need to be flexible in thinking of the future, just as we had to be flexible to survive the early 90s. I am afraid I cannot lighten the scene.
