The QL Emulators CD that Dilwyn and Darren produced, for example, wasagreat idea. Once the GUI's area available it would be good to do this again ... and more.Thanks. I hadn't really thought of using Launchpad or QDT in this context, but who knows?
Have CD that would 'auto magically' produce and set up a QLenvironmenton a MAC or PC, etc. It will have to be easy and 'done on a plate'toget new users involved. They won't have the time to catch up on allthethings that those of still involved may know about.This is one of the shortcomings of the present CD, I didn't know enough about the 'other computers' to do auto-setups etc, which is why it's only a home brew-DIY tinkerers setup and readme.txt's etc. Anyone who'd like to do this is welcome to have a copy to provide such a setup, but please make it flexible enough to allow for whatever might happen, for example, the latest CD (v1.24) now has QL2K and the Windows version of uQLx, just added "as is" with additions to the readme files.
I hope someone will have the skill and time in a packaged way ... it makes such a difference in getting a critical mass of users.
