Intersetingly enough, and if my memory serves me correctly, wasn't BCPL available from MetaComCo (hope I got the capitalisation correct !) for the QL as well. On a different note, the current PC Plus edition has a feature about the top 50 technological breakthroughs that didn't quite hit the main stream. In at number 42 (or 43) is our beloved Sinclair QL. A small piece about it follow then we have Dilwyn's web site address as the 'further details' link. Fame at last Dilwyn ! And on a third subject, I am sadly bereft of Laptop at the moment having suffered a total and complete disc failure. Luckily I did have a backup this time - at least of my business stuff - but I've lost a shed load of old emails from this list etc. Obviously this happened outside of the warranty period. Luckily, I have my QPC 'on a stick' so that still works, well, it will when I get the disc replaced and everything restored. I don't suppose there's ever going to be a QPC-Linux by any chance ? Sorry for asking Marcel - but I just had to - when my laptop is rebuilt it will not have XP on it any more (unless I need it for QPC) as Suse 10 has everything I need and works far better.
