Hi all, After a hiatus of exactly two years, Knoware.no is now up and running again. Many thanks to Rob Heaton for hosting it on his server!
I was hoping to "polish the turd" a bit before re-opening, but then, when it happened, it all happened so fast that Im not ready. Some reorganisation (and possible resulting chaos) is under way, but that will now happen incrementally. I havent been lazy these past years. There are some 40 new titles, upgrades and updates. Much of my stuff is for high-end emulators like QPC2 and SMSQmulator. That is because those are the systems I mostly use myself. Both QPC2 and SMSQemulator are now free and easily available and I guess almost everyone reading this has some sort of PC. There is nothing dangerous about SMSQ/E. At the most basic level it works just like the old QL, and those bits that dont, should at least not be unfamiliar to anyone with a modern PC. Even if you prefer to work only with QL-type hardware systems, these emulators are useful as accessories to make your QL life easier. That being said, I dont deliberately try to exclude any platform. On the contrary! Wherever possible I try to make my software compatible across all platforms, at leas those I know anything about, so there should be something to suit everyone. Just pay attentions to the clues: SMSQ/E only. GD2 only. Qdos/Minerva only, All platforms, etc! I was a poor student of mind reading in kindergarten, so Im one of those odd fellows who needs a bit of physical feedback to thrive. Im not fishing for compliments! Im simply in need some kind of indication that the stuff I produce is useful (or not) and that it works (or not). If it doesnt work then Id like the opportunity to fix it. No feedback can mean anything! Dont like/doesnt work/WTF? are the most obvious interpretations. If you sell stuff, then at least you get some kind of feedback: reviews, money and/or complaints, etc. If you give stuff away unconditionally and for free then any feedback needs to be a deliberate action on the part of the recipient. See how that works? Enjoy! www.knoware.no -- Per I love long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me. - Fred Allen _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List
