Re: [Ql-Users] Returning to the QL
Hi Norman, I (apparently) wrote this about 20 years ago. This has reminded me that the idea was to write some kind of debugger for superbasic, but I really don't remember how it worked. You're right of course about local variables. Perhaps my experience with programming since I wrote this will enable me to overcome the problems that I was obviously having then.

[Ql-Users] For 1 person only - or maybe just 2!
I have always said that one of the strengths of the QL is that it caters for minorities. For the one person - or maybe two people who are interested - the 2017 version of my UK General Election analysis program is now available on the downloads page of my website. www.gwicks.net/justwords.htm I am making some changes to the dictionaries page of the site. Currently I am getting about 1,500 hits a month on the page and I have a feeling they are not QL-ers. The search engines have discovered me and I have become an established word list download site. In the circumstances I am currently modifying the plain text lists from the QL to the PC character set, Best wishes, Geoff ___ QL-Users Mailing List
Re: [Ql-Users] Returning to the QL
Indeed Dilwyn, apologies, I was wondering about you having said it! However, the problem is simply my own apparent inability to read properly! Cheers, Norm.

Re: [Ql-Users] Returning to the QL
Evening Daniel, Welcome back to the QL. I replied to Dilwyn earlier on this. I realise my mistake, as usual, only when my post went public. Sigh! No worries! Cheers, Norm.

Hi Geoff, About your dictionaries ,, Qtyp is still a commercial program?
