RE: [ql-users] Development
Mike, I've moved over to ql-chat - just in case ! Hungry, me ? I'm afraid that I don't actually have to hunt to eat. I have a perfectly good set of local farm shops, and farmer's markets which I frequent when the need to feed the freezer arises. As for digging a trench - you've abviously never tried digging a trench through Heather roots, if you had, you'd know better than to suggest it. Too much like hard work. I did try decoying them once, but mixed results - it seems to work best in the breeding season, but then, you're not allowed to kill them then - and for good reason. Seems that when the season starts proper, the little beggars know and seem to be able to recognise the decoys. I tend to prefer stalking them - I've had better results that way, and it's more 'man against nature' as well. :o) Norman. PS.

"Our" legacy does affect even Marcel :-P hehehehe Now I heard a program on fast foods and they said there that an American went over to Europe in search of a fast food to rival the hamburger. He brought back the original Pizza - a small bread base with tomato puree and cheese - and everyone said this will never work. They then added some more toppings and today's pizza was born. Rather like the Indian dish whose name escapes me the re-exported the fake Italian dish back to Italy. Maybe this was wrong. -- Roy Wood Q Branch, 20 Locks Hill Portslade. Sussex. BN41 2LB.

Both products serve their own purpose and both are VERY well done There's nothing w/o pros and cons of course and as for example the Q60 is expensive, so on the other hand QPC runs on Windows ;-) (Hehehehe just joking here don't shoot)... Seriously though, being the owner of a Q40 (as of yesterday... don't have it in my hands yet) AND qpc I can tell you that there's no reason why someone can't have both (if one can afford both although with the price of QPC where it is at now... it simplifies the choice) Phoebus

NOT! Ahem. My thoughts exactly. > (...). Yes, QPC is not the cheapest software on earth, I know that. Personally, I think it is pretty cheap, considering what you get for it. Just to avoid getting accused of a pro-QPC bias (and why couldn't I have one, but well, that's another can of worms) let me hasten to add that I also think that the Q60 is also worth the money...

Jerôme Grimbert had also announced he would participate.

François van Emelen has offered to do that part of the job - please send him your emails in this respect. For the three persons who have already sent me emails, don't worry, I'm forwarding them. (Lack of developpers) I'm afraid I thaought that this was going to happen and I thnik I stated this already. Of course, Richard Zildlicky will tell us, as he already did (I think it was him) that this was a self fulfilling prophecy since people like him wouldn't participate under this abominable licence... Somehow, I still have my doubts... Wolfgang

Of course, if we had "released SMSQ/E into freedom" instead of into the licence as it is, there would now be zillions of developers around and Wolfgang would have to register them 24 hours per day.

I've been ignoring the "please somebody develop YAE (yet another emulator) further because it's a free one" as I think nobody capable of this would spent one minute thinking about it (if it isn't already their own emulator, that is). If anybody wants a good old QL, take QemuLator. For the more advanced needs take QPC. Both are commercial for a reason, because it costs time and money to develop software like that. Yes, QPC is not the cheapest software on earth, I know that. On the other hand QPC is now in its ~9th year of development! I couldn't really devote that much time (we're talking thousands of hours here) without getting anything in return. At this point I want to say a big "thank you" to all of my customers out there. Without you buying QPC I certainly wouldn't now spent time on improving SMSQ/E for all platforms or e.g. working on small fixes in QPAC2 which I did just yesterday. So you see, by buying QPC you not only support QPC but my whole QL related development work in general. Thanks again to everybody who contributed financially and morally support. And for being the nice guys that make up that certain charm the QL scene has and certainly distinguishes it from most other scenes :-) > Currently were working on upgrading all the SBasic keywords in > SMSQ/E v 3.01, eg: > 100DEFine PROCedure Test(text$) > 110IF text$ = "": PER_SAYS_GOTO 200 > 120WL_IS_THE_GREATEST_PRINT text$ > 130MARCEL_REWROTE_THIS_BEEP 2, 2 > 140 Yes, that's true.

Wlenerz had just told me that there were only *two* confirmed SMSQ/E "developers" (modestly forgetting himself), namely you and (wait for it) - me! (And I signed up mainly to help with the coffies and put the jelly beans on the pizzas ;) Of course there are other activities than kernel hacking that go towards making the QL a better system and help to keep it up to date, but I do get worried when people on this list talk about improving Qlay and Qlem and this and that when theres so much to be done and so few to do it. QL developers should be looking towards QL *users* and be thinking about how to move ahead with this. They should be focused, and avoid distracting projects. The last thing the retro-enthusiasts want is development. Let them have their way! What QL users want is development. Weve moaned on this list for years about all that is wrong or lacking. Nows our chance. I know of a whole bunch of more-or-less active programmers and tinkerers who have more right to be called developers than me. They should sign up, if for nothing else than to show support and give themselves and users a sense that they are justified in maintining their confidence in the world's last real computer system ;) Anyone who is part of the project is less likely to rebel and split out of pique that things arent going their way. Currently were working on upgrading all the SBasic keywords in SMSQ/E v 3.01, eg: 100DEFine PROCedure Test(text$) 110IF text$ = "": PER_SAYS_GOTO 200 120WL_IS_THE_GREATEST_PRINT text$ 130MARCEL_REWROTE_THIS_BEEP 2, 2 140 If you dont like it, better sign up!
