Very, very sad. My only wish is, that he will now stay with others, who are 
the same enthusiasts as he was.


Cheers...Ralf

Subject: [Ql-Users] Carlo Delhez

This weekend I came across the sad announcement that Dutch programmer Dr. 
Ir. Carlo Delhez had died a week before. He was only 48.
He was a familiar name among Sinclair users. He wrote programs for ZX & QL 
computers, both commercial and freeware. Among them Coral Basic - an 
extension bringing SuperBASIC to the ZX81 - and ZX emulators for the QL 
and PC. His Ungif tool has seen regular use on my systems.
He was not a club member nor a regular visitor at meetings but I remember 
talking to him in Eindhoven briefly, about 20 years ago, a very nice 
person and full of new ideas.


Our thoughts are with Carlo's family.

This is indeed sad. I never met Carlo, but I did have contact with him 
sending him Dutch and English word lists for his QLingo program, way 
back in 1995. He was probably not so well known outside the Netherlands, 
but he did produce some interesting software.


I am currently doing a massive task  of sorting out my QL floppies to 
decide which need copying to a more modern medium. I came across Carlo's 
disk and thought I must have a look at it again. Unfortunately some of 
the programs do not seem compatible with QPC2,


Best Wishes,

Geoff

Very sad to hear this...a young man.

I used Carlo's emulators a lot when I first got a QL, as I moved from a
Spectrum. He was always very helpful, although like Geoff I never actually
met him.

May he rest in peace.

That's way too young. The name rings many bells, but I guess mostly
because of the emulators he wrote. Very sad.

Indeed, thank you for letting us know about this Bob.

Like others have said, I never got to meet him, but have used his software. 
Such a sadly young age to die.

I would like to express Marco Ternelli and my deepest condolences. Marco and
I met Carlo in Munster, probably more than 25 years ago. I think this has
been the first international meeting we attended and at that time we
presented our first ZX Spectrum emulator (ZM/2-ZM/3). At the same meeting
Carlo presented his excellent Spectrum emulator. I still remember the 15
hours trip back to Italy by car when Marco and I spent thinking how to
improve our emulators. Quite likely without Carlo emulator ZM/128, ZM/hT and
ZeXcel would have never seen the light.

This unfortunately also reminds us how time has passed quickly and how
fragile we are

Ciao Carlo

Davide and Marco
