No, only Perfection word processor was mentioned. He indicated he'd be willing to allow that to be distributed as long as any changes made by the likes of David Gilham were to improve compatibility with emulators and modern QL hardware rather than adding any new commands etc to it, which I think is what David intended to do anyway.
Other than that, no positive news. Phoebus did ask me to ask him about Conqueror, but not got a reply on that one yet. Stuart - I could probably get a free WANTED ad into QL Today magazine for you (if publisher Jochen Merz agrees and space permits) to see if anyone wishes to sell their copy of the DP bundle. Let me know if you'd like to try this. Dilwyn Jones _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
