Completely off topic - and I'll probably get flamed to death for it, but..
Is he still mad into cars? And whats he doing for a living? Still accountancy? Does he still eat enough to fuel a small African country? Darren. -----Original Message----- From: Dilwyn Jones [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 21 April 2005 14:28 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ql-users] Perfection I have just been on the phone with Freddy Vachha (I'm sure you all remember Digital Precision Ltd) where we discussed the Perfection word processor among other things. (There, Freddy, your name coupled with the words precision and perfection in the same sentence should boost your standing with the search engines!) I mentioned David Gilham's work on Perfection to him and he was broadly in favour of allowing work on Perfection, as long as it was with a view to updating it for better compatibility with recent OS changes, but was not in favour of changing the functionality of the program (adding new commands or altering the fundamental mother/daughter job system on which it was built etc). I haven't got David's contact details with me at the moment, but David, if you can confirm that the work you've done on Perfection is more updating for compatibility reasons rather than fundamentally changing or adding new facilities etc I can get back to Freddy to let him know the full situation and I'm cautiously optimistic he would allow an updated version to be released if he was happy with what had been done. I have a contact number for Freddy, but he has asked that it is not passed on, so I will pass on messages to him rather than pass on his phone number. Although I don't think Freddy gets much time for QLing these days, he speaks nostalgically of his time with the QL. I happened to mention Quanta's "QL Is 21" meeting to him. He said it may be of interest to him and might wish to attend, if only for nostalgic reasons, if his work etc allows at the time, so there is a possibility we may see him there this autumn as well. Some time ago, I was also in email contact with Leon Heller, Quanta founder, and he said he may take an interest if his commitments allow nearer the time. Wouldn't it be great if we could have a few such distinguished guests from the QL's past attending this event!
