Re: [Ql-Users] QLis30 dinner
That is 100% false. Deep fried marsbars were advertised in chippies in Edinburgh in 1993 when I first went to Uni.

Re: [Ql-Users] QLis30 dinner - partners permitted?
Sorry I note I had not made it clear if wives and partners were permitted at the dinner. Of course they are!, Best wishes, Geoff ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
Re: [Ql-Users] Good Morning People - ‘QL SuperBASIC - The Definitive Handbook’
Just to add my interest to getting hold of a reasonable soft-copy of this classic... The copy I have is mostly illegible (though regularly trawled-through). eBay has hard-copies on sale, but they're pretty expensive! Martyn.

Re: [Ql-Users] Good Morning People - ‘QL SuperBASIC - The Definitive Handbook’
Again, to add more info to this topic, I offered, some years ago, to scan, OCR and convert the QUANTA REPRINT of this book (printed 1989 with, I understand, Jan Jones' permission) of which I own a copy but at the time no one managed to contact Jan to get permission to do this. If permission could be obtained, I would still be prepared to do this on behalf of QUANTA and the distribution would then be for the QUANTA committee to decide. A quick look at Amazon web site this evening reveals that there are two used copies available, one at just over £20 and the other at £40.00 - as Martyn says, pretty expensive. Does anyone want to try and put me in touch with Jan? Kind Regards, John Gilpin.

Re: [Ql-Users] Good Morning People - ‘QL SuperBASIC - The Definitive Handbook’
John, I'm sure I've mentioned before, but I have already OCR'ed the book. I have Chapters 1-9 in Doc format. Chapters 10-11 are still in .txt format. What I did not do is scan the images/diagrams. They will need to be scanned and then inserted into the document. I'm willing to pass on what I have done to someone else to continue the work, or jointly work on the project. The real next step is to get permission from Jan Jones to make to book releasable under a Creative Commons license. Since Quanta had a past agreement with Jan, can Quanta make the first approach?
