Hi John,
Wen I bought a Q40 many years ago, when it first came, I also had
problems with DRVLINK losing data on a Q40 style hard disk partition.
So I never used it again.
I was going to delete it from the support disks with he Q60, but others
around me said that this is a supplied program

Duncan,
Putting aside the legalities (and it may well be the legalities which are
the block), I agree with you.
When the rights for sale are clearly known - i.e. the vendor and/or

The tediousness of keeping backups (e.g. copy QXL.WIN to a CD-RW on a
PC a couple of time a month) is so much easier than trying to undelete
files on a QL.
Exactly.
I use a 6.4GB hard disk with (maybe) 24 partitions
Hi, All.
A solution has presented itself [I can get a further set of the missing
originals], so I no longer need to recover the files from the win_
directory. In answer to your questions, Darren, I lost both a WIN_ file
which I didn't recover, and also the contents (by WDEL) of another win_
programs like
Conqueror, Media manager, and the Editor where not ahead of their time?
Cheers,
Darren.

Hi, All.
Thanks for the nice welcome message, also thanks to all who contributed with
the interesting chatter. I agree about the relative value of the DP suite - it
was hard to justify the cost then, and harder now, as I said I'm after them for
nostalgic reasons. Sadly, the PC/Offife suite
DP were certainly ahead of their time.

Largely, they are of nostalgic interest only, except of course, for Turbo.
Now QDT is something else, and I may purchase that one day!
