Hi Marcel,

can match QPC in speed or features. That's why I was a bit mystified
by your choices. Just saying.

Hmm, somewhat hardware biased for my taste. Given that QPC was in
recent years probably the most widely used QL platforms of all, it
seems a bit strange to have it simply
Is it possible to enter S*Basic lines of code remotely?

Well, you seem to have the notion that there is QL hardware, and there
are emulators that emulate said hardware. That's probably true for
most form of emulators

Hi Marcel,
It depends on the definition again :-) I can hold my QL hardware in my
hand, tinker with it, extend it.
If I can hold it in my hands is a feature for you, then, yes, QPC2
cannot provide this. I was however talking about speed, TCP/IP or the
simple fact that I can use any damn LCD
I have a few documents (a fair size) which were written in Text 87.
Using QPC + QPCPrint, I can output them to PDF, but ideally I would like
to get them into HTML or another format suitable to put on the web.
Does anyone have suggestions as to the best way of achieving this?
