Even I know many software and documentation Chas Dillon was involved with, I have never heard of this one. I searched my pile of QL files for *archiv*doc all I found are two documents archive1_doc (66 pages) and archive2_doc (110 pages). They are part of the QL-PD CD-R. I could not find an author listed in those documents, so it could be Chas work or not. Alf and Dilwyn could check the content and state if it's what was seeked for. No I'm afraid it's not. Those are the main Xchange Archive documents. Although they are quite useful in their own right! I'll see if I can get in touch with Simon, though. I don't think he's on this list.

Re: [Ql-Users] Chas Dillon's Archive Book
I have been contacted by Alf Kendall who is looking for another copy of Chas Dillon's archive book - does anyone have a copy to sell / scan or know any contact details for Chas. Alf lent his copy to someone in Quanta, but can't remember whom it was! Wasn't this book published by IQLUG (as was) - and if so, surely it should be in the Quanta archives somewhere? -- Rich Mellor I do remember this book - it was dot matrix printed and same size as a Quanta mag but about a hundred pages long. It was entitled something like Notes On Psion QL Archive or something similar, and had Quanta's old name of 'IQLUG' (or maybe the full moniker) on the cover. I gave my copy away a few years ago at a Quanta workshop IIRC - if my copy turns up it had my name handwritten on the front cover :-) At one stage there was a cartridge with all the program listings in the book in the library, but I just had a quick look in the current Library Guide and they ain't in the Library any more. I think the reason might be that the book was based on version 1 Archive, as I seem to remember that it included some detail of the changes in version 2 when those cartridges went out in early 1985. If anyone has a copy of either the book or the program listings it might be worth adding to the Quanta archive of scanned old publications.

Gosh that's woken me up Notes On Psion QL Archive was a Quill doument that I wrote and put in the Quanta Library. It had nothing to do with Chas Dillon's book which was much more technical Mine was an attempt to write a simple guide and I was told quite a few people did use it. Unfortunately I don't have a copy and have been looking for one for ages so if anyone has it I would very much like a copy. I still use Archive on the PC but using a database I set up many years ago and have long forgotten how I did it!! martinw ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
