Re: [Ql-Users] Returning to the QL
Welcome back Daniel! Glad to see you found your software on my site. At one stage, I had a lot of your programs but lost them in a hard disk crash some years ago. I still have two zip files called 'snooper' and 'clock' - would it be OK to make them available on my site now I have found them again? If I find any more of your QL software I'll ask about those too.

Re: [Ql-Users] Returning to the QL
Hi Daniel, welcome, you're back home :-D I still use your program very often. The community is small but very active, especially in the last two years there is a new enthusiasm in the air, or at least that seems to me.
