Hi Paolo, as far as I remember, the code letters for the various QL ROMs have been named after: * Taxi Drivers used by Sinclair staff; * Engineers at Sinclair; * Women in the Sinclair offices. There may bo other "uses", but the letters in JM and JS etc are the initials of certain people from the above list. I have not seen a full list of the various names actually used though, so I can't tell you who JM and JS were. Sorry. HTH Cheers, Norm.

Happy New Year to you, here's hoping that 2018 is a good one. DISA would possibly be a good one - if the original author is ok with his code being publically available on Github, which I hope he is. Mind you, we need to finish Multimon first. ;-) I'll be getting back to that very soon, I hope. Cheers, Norm.
