QPCprint will appeal only to QPC2 users, so a small market. Marcel is confident enough of that, so I can't see there'd be a problem selling similar numbers of a new Easyptr better suited to GD2 use. Presumably, anyone like me who uses it to produce programs at the moment would buy an enhanced version.
Easyptr in theory appeals to all QLers, but of course only to the programmers. The old Part 1 makes it quite easy to create simple menus, while Part 2 lets those confident enough to do more advanced things with it create those advanced programs. It also has a C68-related package, although I don't know if that's up to date and widely used. C68 and compiled basic are the only two widely used programming languages and tools for the QL (apart from assembler) and QPTR, SPACE, John Miller's Ptr Toolkit (or whatever it was called) and all those aren't widely used. Even TurboPTR doesn't get mentioned much, so I wonder if many people are using that? (I don't because I never get time to learn it!) In the absence of other widely used tools, I'd say we have to give strong consideration to developing Easyptr or something similar if developing Easyptr is considered too big a job.
