Seems to be the kind of thing most of us on this list would take for granted, but Quanta's survey experience with finding the number of 128K QLs out there exceeded expectations and their surprise at how quickly their second hand microdrive cartridges went suggests we do need to reinforce the "basics" a bit every now and then. I guess a short article on the variants of SMSQ/E and a bit about their differences might make a good follow up to an article I sent John Gilpin recently. An article about the various SMSQ?E variations might be best coming from those closest to it (programmers and retailers and registrar) but I'm willing to give it a go if nobody else does. Might need someone to check it before publication, that's the only thing. Of interest, John? -- Dilwyn Jones -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
