As its dying act before removing itself, it simply states some system information: the current time, ROM version, speed factor, free_mem etc. This is the beauty of QL boot programs - you can do just about anything with them to suit how to use your QL. Since S*BASIC ( = Superbasic or Sbasic) is the scripting language on a QL, anyone with a moderate understanding of it can potentially create their own environment. If you use pointer environment, just about the simplest BOOT program would be: 100 TK2_EXT : REMark ensure Toolkit 2 active 110 LRESPR flp1_ptr_gen 120 LRESPR flp1_wman 130 LRESPR flp1_hot_rext 140 HOT_GO : REMark enable hotkeys job And you can build on it from there by adding your own toolkits and so on. Both QL Today and Quanta have published 'My Boot' articles over the years and there are one or two such articles on my website. There's an index to QL Today on my website http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/gen/qltoday/qltoday%20index%20vol%201-16.pdf and using that, if you have the QL Today disk with their back issues on them as PDFs you can catch up on any of these articles. I also wrote an article on the subject in Quanta mag, Feb/March 2010 (volume 27 issue 1). I could always put this on my website if anyone is sufficiently interested! Indeed, if there is interest and time available (the latter as ever is the big IF), I could compile the Helplines from my period on the committee to put on Quanta website (will need to check with our webmaster if there is likely to be plenty of space available on the new website).
