x means that it uses a sprite that cannot be displayed in the current

Sure, just use menuconfig to update the smsqe.bin file. Can also be

Of course
New QPC2 version 3.23 is now available for download on my web page at
http://www.kilgus.net/qpc/ .
Excerpt from the version history:
3.23 PAR dialog sometimes didn't show the actual settings.
Changed printer enumerations so that unavailable network printers don't
delay everything.
One more thing:
