[Ql-Users] Assemblers
Quanta had two assembler programs. One had been largely rewritten by Phil Borman and he obtained the right for Quanta to market it The other assembler never took of as it could never compete with the Macro assembler. If by GST you mean the Macro Assembler, yes, you need to contact Phil. If, as I fear, GST was the second assembler, then it is best forgotten.

Re: [Ql-Users] GST assemblers
As I said to Dilwyn in an off list email, my memories of my time as QUANTA Librarian are very vague. I remember working alongside John Gregory - who decided what went into the Library - so maybe he may be able to help. Sorry I can't help further. Regards, John Gilpin.
